  • Aspire marker light mod

    One thing I don't like about my recent Aspire purchase is that the front corner lights are only turn signals. I decided to change that. There might have been a socket that would fit the Aspire corner light and use a 1157 bulb instead of the 1156, but I didn't feel like spending the time to find one. I purchased some T10 rubber bulb sockets that require a 1/2" hole. I drilled a hole in each marker light, inserted the socket with a wedge type bulb and applied a little sealant to keep water out. I tapped into the power on the side marker lights. Now I have corner lights that come on with the headlights. The little wedge bulb isn't too bright so the turn signal is still visible.


    Here's a quick video.
