maybe you could splice into the blinker wiring and run a T. couldnt be that hard

When you find out how...Please let me know...I thought about that, but Can't figure out how to..

anybody want to try this first. im too much of a chicken.

Find a logical way...and I am willing to try...

ok it is actually quite easy to do. Take the positive wire from the driving light (wedge bulb) and splice it. Then cut the ground wire of the turn signal bulb and wire the spliced positive wire to the turn signal bulbs ground. The only thing that might happen from doing this is your turn signals may flash faster but I dont think they will.

did you try this yet?

Im not gonna try it because I dont desire this effect. I do know it will work though as I did it with my sidemarkers that I put on my last civic. The reason it works is because when the flasher goes to turn on the bulb both terminals of the bulb are positive and there is nowhere for the energy to go so the bulb turns off. THe only reason I think it may make the turn signals flash faster is because the relays flash quicker when there isnt a certain amount of resistance as a warning so you know a bulb is burnt out. Other than this possible side effect (I still havent gotten that far yet to determine the possibilities of this in my major (Electical Engineering) to figure out if it will effect the resistance of the connection but I dont think it will) it will work correctly.
