Wiring Front Turn Signals to Stay on with Parking Lights
Before anyone says anything, I've already searched and searched. I found the way with the relay and the way for the 5th Gen. I'm wondering if there's a simple way without relays or changing the bulb sockets to get the front turn signals to come on with the parking lights and to blink like a normal turn signal. If not, can someone show me the diagram of wiring up the relays and which relays to buy. Those searches I got, all the pictures didn't show up because the picture was gone or moved.

basically you want the front turn signals to operate like the ones next to it do...the smaller ones that turn on with parking lights, but flash like turn signals too?
Simple way: just cut the wires going to the front light sockets and connect them parallel to the ones next to it that come on with parking lights, and flash like turn signals.
Relay way: get a bosch style relay. connect one side of the coil to chassis ground. Use the + side of the bulb on the side of the bumper to trigger 12V through the relay and then distribute to the two from lights.
good luck-

Would that not be putting to much of a load on that power source (the first way)? Is there any other way that you know of without relays? Thanks man.

simpler way... the harness from the bottom corner bumper lense fits into the corner light. Pop out the corner lense and the bumper lense and just swap them around.

Brady, that wouldn't accomplish what I was looking for would it? Switching them around would just make my corner lens(next to headlight) blink instead of the one in the bumper. I was wanting the bumper lens in the front to come on with both sets of corner lights (bumper corner and headlight corner).
