Yup, because that system does not seem to ground to the body (hence the reason for the three wires, one being a ground) so putting in a standard two wire 1157 type socket won't work. I've not actually worked on a Nissan in a number of years now, but I'll bet the socket just snaps into the plastic lens, with no metal touching, right?

Yes you are right. Thanks again. I will go to the parts place tomorrow and get the right one. I may be asking more ??? again.

What exactly do I ask for at the parts place? As far as the socket?

Sure, always glad to give advice when I can. As far as what to ask for, tell them the year, make and model of the truck and let them look it up, but make sure it has three wires when they give it to you.
