rear blinker mod

[gestiva]

I saw this mod for the front corner light,
so i decided to see if it would work for the rear.
It did! In the other thread it shows you how to convert your front
corner light to blink with your blinker,"in a alternating pattern"
I took the rear light harness off, and spliced the ground wire
for the "rear parking light"(194bulb).
I spliced it to the green wire(power) going to the blinker.

when your lights are on, the blinker and parking light alternate.
when your lights are off, both blink together.

sorry for the sucky vid!!!

I'm glad to see that my camera isn't the only one that has dyslexia when it comes to focus. Awesome mod though, saved for when my car is done so I can do it.

Thats a pretty sweet little set up. Now I guess im gonna have to make the rear match the front!

i hate to ask but can you get a better picture, maybe pull unaffected plugs out of the way? you say ground to green but i only see black wires hacked up in your picture. please with sugar on top?

hope this helps out

[MTec007]

so the green stays connected unlike the black?

[gestiva]

yes... its the power source for the blinker

I just did it, front and rear. Quite easy. Just take the ground for the parking light and run it to the hot of the turn signal. Ground is black. The hot is green.

I Wanted to use the brake/running light but it would have kept the brake light from working correctly...

[gestiva]
