Ok, I'll try to spell it out...
The way the stop lights are wired without turn signals, is
that both stop lights use the same wire, and go on at the
same time.
When you add turn signals, you need to run a separate wire
from each stoplight to the turn signal switch, one for
right, one for left. Also, the wire that used to go to both
stoplights, needs to go to the turn signal switch instead.
now does it make sense?
