I am about to rewire an '85 SE rear lights to achieve the following effect...

A-B---------C-D

Lenses A & D are amber
Lenses B & C are red

I want B & C to light up when the head lamps / marker lights are turned on. I also want B & C to operate the brake light function.

Lights A & D should only operate when either the turn signals are activated and/or when the Hazard lamps are activated.

Looking through the wiring diagrams, it appears I need to make the following modifications....

1) The white wire on the brake lamp switch should be disconnected (as on the GT's).

2) The light blue wire in the trunk section (currently not used on the SE) should be wired up to lamps B & C. The brown marker lamp wire should also go to these two lamps.

3) The yellow wire should be hooked up to lamp A.

4) The dark green wire should be hooked up to lamp D.

5) All lamps can use a common ground.

Seems simple enough. Anyone agree or disagree with this approach? Am I missing anything?

Sounds like you have it correct, as far as I can tell from the diagrams I have.....only thing I can see you may have missed is the tail/stop lights (B&C) should be dual filament bulbs....one filament for the taillights(brown wire) and the other for the brake lights(blue wire)...the brakelights will use the brighter filament...and lamps A&D will be single filament bulbs.
