I have a 2 filament (7443) bulb in a 7443 socket.

See details HERE

I'm going to start updating that post with details on what happened. It's fixed now and I just got back from a quick test ride (with the lights on) to verify all is well. A quick summary is that I was grounding the low light filament, providing running power to the high light filament, and providing braking current to the ground. So basically it worked visually in that it came on with the tail lights and got brighter with the brake lights, but there were were some other issues at the same time.
