i was wondering how i would wire up some fender turn signals that i was planning to purchase off of e-bay. What i want it to do is when my parking light is on i want it to be orange, and when i turn on the turn signal i want it to blink. i think some volvo's have it wired up that way. how do i wire my system up like that. thanks.

 

So you want to use the parking light as a blinker light?

 

no, i wanted to add a turn signal right here. that stays on with the parking light, but when i turn on the signal it will bink. how do i wire it up.

 

WHat type of bulb is in the side marker?
The turn signal bulb is a 5w bulb, I think the side marker will be a lesser wattage.
The easiest would be 2 bulbs in one housing but that might be a tight fit.

 

i'm not too sure of what type bulb. I don't want to use 2 bulbs. if worse case i can use a dual filament bulb. but i prefer the bulb to turn off to flash.

 

just add the housing to the side, use a 194 bulb and tap the turn signal light wire at the original bulbs. Done.

 

Good luck JOhn!!

 

but my turn signal uses a dual filament bulb, one filament stays on all the time(parking light), and the other filament only turns on when the blinkers are turned on.

which wire would i tap into if i wanted the side markers on all the time(when parking light is on) and for it to blink when i turn the turn signal on?

thanks.

 

RED-WHITE is the flasher signal and GREEN is for the parking light. The third wire is ground, I think it's BLACK-WHITE. Good luck!
