Default turn signals

Yo yo yo

I was wondering if there is a way to have the turn signal lights on all the time and blink when your turning left or right. I saw this on a ford work truck and it looks awesome. I just wish there was a way to do it on our cars

Should be easy enough to do with a couple of relays. Have the relays follow the flasher and connect the lights to the NC instead of the NO contacts. That should reverse it just fine.

yep but the high resistance of the relays would cause hyperblink. so (unless you want hyperblink) you'll need to get some ~1ohm high power (~21W?) resistors in parallel with the relays. http://www.v6performance.net/forums/...7&postcount=19
a friend of mine used those to do a similar thing to his 7thgen accord

Yup, it could, Alan, but it also depends on the solid state flasher circuit used, and the relay coil's resistance. If the flashing goes nuts, what you suggest is the simplest fix.
