it sounds like they're wired into ur parking lights, tap into you actual blinker wires, should be under the dash by the fuse box on the driver side, i dont have sidemarkers but if i did thats where i would start

take the positive lead from your side marker and tap the other power wire from your turn signal.

if u do that than it will only blink but it wont be on all the time...if u want it to be on all the time u have to splice a relay into the circuit and connect both the blinker, and parking light...

but isn't there only one power wire going into the turn signal?...and isn't it on with the parking lights since it's dual filament

(sorry, just trying to clarify for myself here too)

wow okay too much mis-information here. Sidemarkers are single filament, usually 194/168 bulbs. There are two wires coming from the sidemarker. Attach one to ground and one to the green signal wire of the front signal and they will only blink. Attach the power to the red parking light wire and they only stay on with lights. Attach one to power signal and the other to power parking light (no ground) and the sidemarker will blink AND stay on with parking light. It will flash normally with lights off, and alternately with front signal when lights on.

This is completely false and a common mistake. You do not need relays to do both, just connect both sidemarker wires to signal and parking light power. It will ground off the other power wire.

The green one I believe will keep them fof and only blink when the turn signal blinks =)

yup green is only blink.

 
Rep Power: 397

Green > all

 
Rep Power: 435

green + red. no black. false ground = cool.

so there is no problem with out having a ground????

 
Rep Power: 812

its fine if you want them to flash AND stay on.

 
Rep Power: 341

so thats how you get it to stay on and blink. i always put it off since i have no clue what the **** a relay is n all that. hmmm, might have me a lil project to do tonight

 
Rep Power: 435

you can even make your parking light blink!

 
Rep Power: 341

this is odd.. i got the ground wire hooked up to the parking light wire and my sidemarker wont even turn on.

yes, the power wire on the sidemarker is hooked up to the blinker wire


Edit:
haha, i hooked up the ground wire from the sidemarker to the red/yellow wire connected to the turn signal. wow, i feel like an idiot

 
Rep Power: 812

well it should work. I've tried it. Um you want the parking light wire on the same bulb, ie the turn bulb. So both wires should be connected to one bulb, the corner blinker/signal bulb (has three wires, you want one to red, one to green).

 
Rep Power: 341

i did that and the sidemarker wouldnt even turn on. but when i put the ground wire to the red/yellow wire connected to the parking light, it worked. but for some reason my passenger side wouldn't work. i think the wire tap might be the culprit since it looked kinda corroded. either that or the bulb burned out.

my passenger parking light bulb has been burnt out. would that have to do with anything?

 
Rep Power: 812

well maybe, but the wire should still be live. I think you have bad taps. Its a very simple wiring procedure and hard to mess up. Get new wire taps.

jeubs this took me about 30 seconds to wire both LOL

 
Rep Power: 320

jesus this thread is old...anyways it took me about 30 seconds to do it too...lol...im gonna splice in a relay so its on all the time and blinks too
