Question about parkinglight & turn signal
An idea occured to me earlier today. But wasnt sure if it would work. I should of thought about it when I had my bumper off while I installed HIDs.
Anyway, would it be possible to swap the parking light socket in place of the turn signal? The turn signal would be in the orange square piece. Would that work or no because the sockets are a different fit or size.

i didn't swap the sockets...i'm pretty sure its not possible. I cut the wires and swapped them. Looks mean with the parking lights on. However, sometimes the turn signal blinks faster than normal.

How I thought about this was because my car was facing a reflection mirror window or soemthing. I had the signals on and and it looked almost like JDM headlights. It be cool and different looking at night-time.

Ok I did this today. It worked perfectly and everything looks great!
What I did was cut the 2 wires going to the parking light. Then rewired them to the 2 wires coming out of the turn signal. Rewire the 2 turn signal wires to the parking light wires. I crimped connectors to them so they wont fall off for any reason.
Which wires do u swap?
- Swap each of the solid color wires (brown & red) together and striped wires (blue/green & blue/yellow) together.
Pix will be up once I get back into town this weekend.
