Converting front turn signals to stay on when parking lights are on
AND make the side markers blink with the turn signal...

This was posted awhile ago and a handful of people have done it too,
can someone please refer me to some links on how to do this?

THX!

Don't be a dumbass! What's next...jury-rigging your brake lights to stay on with your markers?

Don't f*ck with safety-related stuff. I don't want to see some f*ucked up Lude driving around with all its turn signals on full time. That's just plain stupid.

Instead, if you like ricey lights, go for those after-burner tips that have surfaced. That inventor has gotta be on LSD...

If you know how to read the curcuit you would see that your analogy is flawed and so is your logic. The mod will work in much the same way...they will blink, they will turn off, they will turn on, they will function with the stock controls. Speaking of rigging the brake light. Have you noticed the way DOT has mandated the rigging of brake lights to blink when first activated

You mean like big brake upgrades

, Well I guess you'll be capped out pretty soon on engine upgrades due to the fact that your brake will be the limiting factor. Don't f*ck with modding your engine unless you can stop your car safely

Well if your worried about the housing turning yellow, you can do what I did.

Since the sidemarkers look ****ty anyways right next to the headlights.. I drilled a hole into the turn signals and stuck the sidemarkers lights in there.

That way the bulb is not big and hot enough to burn anything, and it stay on with the parking or headlights, and you no longer see the retarded sidemarkers.

Of course I have clear sidemarkers though.

BTW... in order for the sidemarker light wire to be long enough to reach the front turn signal just grab some thin speaker wire and extend it.
