Always on sidemarkers

[SI_Kho]

Does any one know how to wire the side markers to make it stay on when the headlights turn on and still blink when we want it to?

[Surprise]

I hope you have LED sidemarkers, cause if they are always on they will melt the lens. Why do you want them to be always on?

cuz its JDM yo!!!!!!!!!!!

I think having the lights on would look friggn tight. I also will be chaning the bulbs to a lowwer wattcge so it wont melt the sidemarkers.

my side markers stay on ful time and they dont melt the plastic lense, they dont even get hot.;)

Is that even legal?

i wouldnt want that anyways! :confused:

i hope it would be legal. i like that some bmw have their sidemarkers on full time and flash when you want them to. I saw a DIY once before, but I have trouble finding it again. all i can remember is that there were two wires coming out of the sidemarkers; one black and one green, i have no idea which wire does what. And i think that if you tap one wire to the (headlights/ parking lights) and the other to the bliker than it should turn on when your headlights or parking lights are on and still blink.

Is this right?

is there any one here that knows a little about wiring things?

This is a simple mod. I would just get a simple 12v normally closed blinker switch and replace that for the normally open one we have now. Lots of cars have them.:D

i did this on my old car. i took the positive from the parking light input and the positive from the blinker input and ran one to each lead of the parking lamp. This works because of the above mentioned switch

how hard is it to remove the sidemarkers?

[labelhunter]

Easy its in your manual, but ill tell ya. Just push toward the back of your car and the front will pop out. Um or is it the other way. Cant remember right now. So if its not one way its the other. Doesnt take much effort to get out.

Yea it comes out easy. just push towards the rear of your car and use your fingers to pry it out. just the wiring pat is confused. im pretty ignorant with thewiring part. someone need to explain it to me well.
