Question Need Massive Electrical Help!!!

okay, i have a 89 bronco (fullsize) that needs much attention in the electrical dept. now im by no means a electrical person but i do like to fix things my self so if i can get a clue what to do i may be okay,lol!, my main issue right now is my western uni mount plow, the plow park&turn signal lamps are not working, but the head lights are, now from what i can see they are running off the same relay and fuse, but for some reason they wont work, i traced the wiring and everything seems to be connected, the inside of the lamps look good, i cleaned them anyway with elect. contact cleaner and put in new bulbs but still nothing! is it possible for the inside of the bulb sockets to go bad, all 4!!

They may be running off the headlight fuse, but they should'nt be. Try a test light at the failed lights, and see if there is 12 volts there. If so, bad sockets. If not, follow wires back til you find problem.

I ran my plow park/turn lamps to the wiring behind the truck's front turn park lamp housings, where I spliced into the factory wiring. How else can you do it? Use the factory trailer wiring and it's relays?
