Default Always-on parking lights

Do you think there is a way to make our turn signals stay on all the time but still blink when we need to make a turn. By like cutting a fuse or whatever?

I have white turn signals so i think it'd look cool if i could drive with them on, kinda like little fogs/headlights. I dunno, just a thought.

yes, actually there is a very simple way of doing it if you don't mind that it will alternate flash between it and the turn signal. Clip the positive wire to the turn signal bulb near the bulb and run a tapped wire from the parking light positive to it . Then connect the the positive turn signal wire to the turn signal ground.

If you make it so that the turn signal (major filament) of the bulb is on all the time, then the bulb will burn out VERY quickly. I did this for daytime running lights on another car. I went through a pair of light in less than a month. Some bulbs last longer than others, but the ones I used (they were blue/white) burned out fast. just FYI

well, there are quite a few cars out there that use the parking lights as the turn signal lights also. i would imagine as long as you had some quality bulbs that this mod would work ok for awhile...
