Ok, normally when our headlights are on, the corner lights light up, and the bumper signals are dark.

i saw this old ad http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a116/3rdgenhatchdx/Magazine%20pix/117_0614.jpg

where the bumper lights are on.. i think 3geez would look tight if their bumper lights were always on like that.. is there any easy way to do it?

also it looks like the front part of the corner light is out.. that's not so hard to figure out how to do haha but it kinda looks cool like that

just re run the wireing from the cornerlight down in to the front marker its that easy

the only problem is that the housing isn't meant for that type of constant heat. ill take pics of how they look like now. and also the bulbs seem to burn faster. and by doing this ur tuning signals will blink faster

hmm i didnt think about the heat problem.. and i hate fast blinkers :( though i suppose with leds and the right resistor you can avoid both problems

it does look good like that though :)

maybe with the leds it wont heat up as much

yeah leds don't give off much heat at all

way ahead of me. i still have to get my sidemarker lights to come on at all. the front ones in the tiny part come on, but the ones in the big part on the side don't. i haven't gotten around to fiddling with it yet, though.

if you wire up turn signals to turn on with parking lights, what happens to your turn signals? You won't have any.
You probably have to go with dual element light bulb to have both.

They give off some heat along with the light, it's just not detectable by touch most of the time since it's so little.

exactly....and funny that newer members dont recognize that cheeseburger had another car before Busted_Blue.

what i was thinking was use a spare taillight socket and break it apart, use the wiring and bulb housing from that (since it uses a dual filament bulb), splice one end into the corner light and the other use as a turn signal. not that hard i dont think

i was thinking u would just wire it to the turn signal in the corner and it would blink just lik the corner signal :)

^^but then you would have that light always on when your lights are on, and when you turn the blinkers on, nothing would happend since those lights will always be on unless you set it up with those dual fillament bulbs like said above.... unless i read your post wrong

lol honestly im prolly not even gonna do it... i was just wondering if it was possible. and if i did do it, i'd just get dual filament bulbs or figure out how to do it with the leds

I think I'm going to mount a little orange led in each one, so it is always on, then when i hit the turn signal the other led's light up, so it's brighter.

Here's how you do it. A simple BOSCH Relay (one for each side)

http://carotman.no-ip.com:8888/flasher_switch.gif

Just use a 2 intensity bulb and it will work fine.

Use the bright bulb for the flasher and the dim bulb for the parking light.

Ive done this mod.
1st I used a brake light bulb, wired the sidemarkers to the low and the blinker to the high
2nd I used just a blinker bulb hooked up to the sidemarker. I burned up the controller after a while.
3rd I used Saturn high beam bulbs (H3?) and I melted the housings (like a candle!)
4th I used the stock setup with a cleared housing and an orange bulb. I wired white LEDs to the sidemarkers. The alternating while/orange effect is sick. In these pics you see the white LEDs in the bumper and sidemarker. THe sidemarker blinker is a standard low watt bulb but it has a red tint on the glass. When the bumper blinker flashes orange the whites turn off with the sidemarker. They are not very bright though.

Hes correct there only singale filament bulbs lest on my 88 there are.


BUt the side lights are on with the headlights. We call them running lights here stateside. Or maybe parking lights. Its the first click on your light stick.

I always thought it be a great idea to make the orange lights running lights I would think it would take dual filament bulb (like 1157) and socket plus a little wire mod and hook it to the corner lights.

the dual fillament has a golden glow to it, I took some pictures a few years ago but I have to search for them. It looks nice and it's pretty safe for the controller, your blinker speed stays the same... I used a brake lamp plug the only problem is that the plug does not thread correctly into the front blinkers but a tiny bit of work with a file and it'll fit.

Yep 1157/2057

maybe you could use the sockets that come with the tail lights?
