blinker is all i would be happy with. obviously the choice is ultimately yours.
Almost a hundred percent sure i will leave the DRL light disconnected. Unless some one convinces me otherwise.

Mine is set up as park lights. You'll want them on when you see them lit up.

Got my mirrors back from the body shop. Now I just need some dry weather to install them. They came out real nice and only 110 bucks to paint them.

Very nice, wonder what's taking mine so long to paint. Are you going to run the white light to turn on with rest of the lights

Still not sure. I tried all the lights, and the white parking light looks really good. What I'm probably going to do, is hook all of them up, run them that way for a while and decide if I like them. I'll hook up the parking light (blue wire) with a quick connector that I can simply disconnect and reconnect as I please.

I posted this in another thread. When the turn signal goes off the white light turns off. That's bult internally to the light. Then when the flashers turn off the white light will turn back on after a few moments.

Those do look nice. Do we have any pictures like standing at the front of the car looking at them?

Australia? Need someone for protection? Or a driver? I can be ready in no time. Lol.

No I dont. They are pretty bright at night. Not bright enough for the day though.
