How To: Wire Blinkers To Be Running Lights/Parking Lamp
Not sure what you call them. I love these lights though on every other vehicle. I hated it when I ran infront of my truck to see the parking lights only to see there was a stupid dead battery looking headlight.
I don't do write ups. And it took me 15mins to go outside come up with a plan and finish.
Needed:
Drill
Drill Bit [Get size in the morning]
Small Flat File [dermal?]
18 [I think] gauge wire
Wire connectors.
Step One:
Remove Headlight And Turn Signals, Unplugging all three wires.
Step Two:
Twist bottom bulb off of headlight
Step Three:
Make a copy of the hole with some paper and a pencil. Looks perfect in person.
Step Four: Mark Holes in the lower part of the turn signals. Make them somewhat even, though perfection isn't nessisary.
Step Five: Drill Holes in Turn Signals.
Step Six: File the side slots into the hole. Checking fit often. You want it tight. Mine is held in perfectly without any extra assistance.
A silicone bead may be preferred but mine seems to seal perfectly.
Step Seven:
Cut and extend the old dead battery lamp wire into the turn signal Section. Leave a little extra wire.
Step Eight: plug in the new lamp and check that the connections work.
Step Nine: Seal hole in back of headlight.. Tape? And reinstall the headlight.
Go to bed because its 2:00 in the morning. Ill clean things up here tomorrow.
