If you ever hit the caution switch at night you'll notice that the parking lights are constantly Dim and flash Bright to Dim ect. Is there anyway to reverse them so they would be constantly bright and then flash to dim? If so is there a way to just single out the lights in the assmbly and not the rear and side marker lights?
 
I'm not putting pants back on just to go outside and look. I thought the flashers used the turn signal filament, not the parking lights.
Someone who's dressed, go check, woulja?
 
Ok and not to take the pants back off But the turn signal filament is what I ment. Is there a way to change those? And is there a way to do it with out making the rear lights bright? And just to make it easier a diagram. Head lights (. o 0) :dsm: (0 o .) .=signal filament o=main headlight 0=bright light I'm wanting to change the . to be constantly bright and flash dim.
 
I think you'd have to engineer it from scratch. What you'd be doing is turning off the filament when it flashes, and running them all the rest of the time. Coppers won't like it, and it'll probably look pretty stupid.
You might be able to do something with LEDs instead of incandescents. I'd not want to be running that filament all the time- it gets pretty hot when on continuously.
 
Well I guess all dreams come to an end. I was hoping to have that as and DRL while running the halos that go around my main headlights. Oh well. And yes coppers all hate anything that has an exhaust.
