Question Constant Turn Signal Idea

Has anyone wired, or thought of wiring the turn signals (in the headlight housing) to constantly stay on? And blink when the turn signal is initiated..

Maybe this would give the headlights a fuller look?

Example:

Set up some kind of switch in the signal lever. If it's in neural the circuit is closed, if it's either being moved from neutral position, it's open. If you want it to run with headlight, throw in a relay connected to headlight.

A few responses into the thread and it's there. It's very easy and looks great at night.

I personally don't think it would look good on the sc. In that thread posted above, you can see an sc with it. The gap between the projectors and the turn signal, looks funky.

i dont know about the guys on top not liking it, but imo it would look good. I think at night, it looks funny how the side of the headlight is all dark and only the middle is lit up.

I like the way it looks, but I got lost somewhere in that thread. I think they were talking about two different signals? Can anyone confirm the wiring for the turn signals in the headlight?
