**UPDATE PART1**

OK.. so today i tried Daskids diagram guide to making this work and YES is did work however here are the down falls..

-all turn signal lights blink fast
-turn signal on the side mirrors.. they STAY ON kinda dim and also blink fast
-head light turn signal is not fully bright (or atleast does not shine kinda at its 100%)

but other then that it works...

i dont know how to make it stop blinking fast so if anyone can chime in on that that would be great.

**UPDATE PART2**

This is for Oznium... i will soon be trying out Ozniums diagram but i cannot find locally as of yet a 5 pin relay.... Oznium can this be done with a 4 pin relay ???? since we are only using 4 wires for this an not all 5 from the diagram u made.???

as soon as Oznium or anyone else can answer the 4/5 pin question above i can do it.. or i will try to keep finding a 5 pin relay... I WILL KEEP EVERYONE POSTED...

No. You cannot do it with a 4-pin relay because you need a normally closed connection. A 4-pin relay only has normally open connection as opposed to a 5-pin relay which has a normally closed connection.

About the blinking issue, I'll do some research. :D

How about trying any local autostore, like Pepboys, Kragen, etc... You can also try Fry's Electronics.... Or your friendly neighborhood WalMart!

Your best bet would be eBay. But that would take a while...

i finally after looking at almost half a dozen stores i found a 5 pole relay. i tried it using the diagram from oznium and it worked but all the signals blinked fast as if using leds. the relays i bought were $12 a piece so instead of playing more i just said screw it and took them back to autozone. so yes it works but i guess we need load equalizers to slow the blinkers down for some reason.

Another option is here: http://www.webelectricproducts.com/products.htm

Look at the daytime running lamps. It's a module that you wire in.

I've been thinking about getting the brake light pulser. Might get it when I get the VRD or Oznium full 3rd brake light.

it works but we need to wire in resistors or get load equalizers to slow the blinkers down.

i think the easier way to do this is to make the turn signals into the running lights and make what is normally our side marker into our turn signal. thats just a matter of switching the hot wires on both. the only reason i haven't done that is because i don't think you can see them very well from directly in front of the car.
