(1.) The turn signal diagram shows one wire to the turn signal. Is the yellow or red a ground? Why is there also a ground from the reflector base?

You have a dual filament bulb.The yellow and red are seperate 'hot' for each filament. I don't know exactly which bulb you have, but if one filament is heavier (brighter) then that lead(yellow or red) is the turn signal feed. Connect the other to the cowl feed from your light switch. Remember to connect the ground wire too!

(2.) The turn signal bulb is clear as is my lens. They sell amber lens for 30-31 but not for 29. Can I buy 6 volt amber bulbs 21 cp or better. Didn't see them. There used to be little bottles of amber bulb or lens paint you could buy. Is it still available?

Try a craft supply store. Ask for stained glass paint. I have a bottle of red & yellow. I mix a few drops to get the amber color I want.

(3.) I bought the LED tail lights for the rear and again they have two wires, black and green. The diagram shows one wire connecting the two lights. I assume one wire is the ground...green or black?:confused:
