Default Use puddle lamps as sidemarkers?

Instead of drilling a hole in the fender is there a way to rewire the puddle lamps to work as a side marker? I think it'll look cool, at least everything is already set up. I'm not electrically inclined but can it be worked as both a puddle lamp and a sidemarker at the same time?

I dont know about doing both, but Im sure you can rewire it to blink. Good idea BTW

It's possible, but it would be funny to see the turnsignals work as you approach the car...

I think he meant to re-wire it completely to make it turn signals only.

Innovative. I think it'll work, but it's not bright enough for people to see. Especially during the day. Since the puddle lamp is facing downward.
