Default Turn Signals as Running Lights

So i setup my front turn signals with UV LED bulbs. and they look incredible. but they only go on with the signals. I want these to stay on all the time as i drive and just flash as the turn signal. And yes ive searched this and i dont wanna buy a while kit. just wanna see if theres an easier way to do this. I took the bulbs out of the running lights on the side so maybe i can cut some wires off those because i dont like those lights and maybe wire it up like that some way?

I wired my APT Fog lights to be DRL's...they only come on while the car is driving.

I believe you would have to design some sort of relay / switch relay if you want it like how you described it.

1. Tap those bulbs into the side-marker wires.
2. Make yourself a switch relay.
3. Upon signaling left or right, it would blink.

That's how you want them right? That's the only possible way.... if u want to go and blow up fuses, tap into both the signal wires AND the side-marker wires....then you're gonna have some havoc cuz you wanted to be lazy and ghetto. lol

you dont need any kind of relay or hocus pocus just rewire your DRL's to your blinker and put your blinker on your side marker and BAM

^That wouldn't be sufficient. You can barely see the sidemarker from the front of the car and the little 194 bulb doesn't give enough lumens for a signal. It would be overpowered by the light emitting from the low beam, especially on 05-07 headlights.
