Flush mount Issue

Ok - you need to make a radioshack run. This is gonna be expensive. It set me back $1.64 to experiment for you.
You need Radioshack part number 276-1141 - Epoxy Rectifier Diode - 2pk. 3Amp.
They look like this:
A diode is basically a check-valve for electrical current - it only allows current to travel through it in one direction. Where you have the solid and the striped wires tied together at your front flushmounts, you need to place 1 diode in line with the solid color wire, in the correct direction. (The end with the silver stripe toward your front flushmount)
That will keep the current from the parking lamp from flowing back down the solid wire to the rear lights. Problem solved.
Solder em in, or put some connectors on the end, and heatshrink the whole assembly. You should be good to go.
