[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 432803, member: 18789"] Buy a 1 watt resistor kit from amazon. You will install it on the parking lamp wire for each lamp. the kit will have a bunch of different ohm values so you can figure out what you like best. You want it to dim the light enough for it to still be visible at night, but dim enough that the turn signal is noticeably brighter. Once you choose the resistor, splice it onto the parking lamp wire. Splice on a diode onto the turn signal wire and another onto the parking lamp resistor. Some cheap 3 amp diodes from Waytek or Delcity should be fine. The diodes will keep the turn signal from feeding the parking lamp, and the parking lamp from feeding the turn signals/hazards. You'll then merge the two wires together after the diodes and splice them to the power wire of the light. Then just hook the ground to the ground. Turn on the lights, it should light up dimly, and then turn on the turn signal and it should flash from dim to bright to dim to bright, etc. [URL='https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098JDL5TR/?tag=yjforum-20']resistors[/URL] [URL='https://www.delcity.net/store/Diodes/p_812046.h_812047']Diodes[/URL] Total you will need 4 diodes and 2 resistors.
