    any way to make the bumper signals turn on when lights are on?

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

    i saw this old ad

    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

    i have that one my cheeseburger Mobile. i did what CAH said


    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

    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

    ^^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
