    rewiring corner lights or front side markers

    I have two ideas flowing through my head, I want to know if it's possible and hopefully how to do them. I don't think they'll work in combination, the reason why will be obvious after you read:

    1) Wiring the corner lights as [daytime] running/driving lights. If you don't know what those are, Google it.

    2) Wiring the front side marker so it doesn't flash with the blinker (stupid idea from manufacturers). I think you would have to splice the wires from the side marker to those of the corner light.

    Any ideas?

    why would you want to get rid of the corner marker that flashes? it just helps other drivers know you are turning.with all the idiots out there I would think you would want as much visibility as possible. as far as making it a daytime running lamp, it stays on with the parking lamps anyway, turn on the parking lamps and it stays on unless you are turning. you could put an amber led in the clear portion of the light, it doesn't blink. you just run a new wire from each lamp to an ignition switched source. if you use LEDS you might be able to fit a few high brightness ones in that corner

    if you install LED turn signal bulbs be sure to change your flasher to an electronic one or they won't flash right
