I'm not sure if this is the write forum to put this on.


Can anyone tell me a way to keep my rear turn signal lights on so it will just start blinking when I use the turn signals.

Like the turn signals in the headlights, they stay on and starts blinking when I signal.

dual filiment bulbs

That is definatly more complicated then just putting in a dual filament bulb. It can be done but you have to do some serious wiring. Unless you know a lot about that stuff, I say stay clear.

its basically the same with the blinkers in the front, they are dual filament stock, i changed mine to single and now it only turns on when I put the blinker. Very simple just change the bulbs.

That will not work at all. the turn signal lights aren't on all the time like they are in the front, thats what he wants to do.

There are a couple of ways to do this, and one does not require a dual filament bulb at all. Basically all you would need is a relay and to do some rewiring back there. You're gonna have to know some wiring stuff to do this. If you do it like this it will basically be on all the time and then just blink when you put the blinker on, and turn completely off and on during the blinking sequence( not like the stock front blinker where it blinks brighter and not as bright)

Trust me its not that difficult, I did it about a year ago, all i did was took the harness (from a 7thgen at the junk yard) from the turn signal in the front with a dual filiment bulb,k so its identical to the front turn signal and just spliced the wires from under the dash from the front and ran the line to the rear, and tada. It took me maybe 15-20 minutes, but then again i practically rewired my entire car since I am very familiar with vehicle wiring, so yeah. I dont really like the look of it so instead of me unwiring everything, i snipped the wire from the light bulb. So its not any "serious" wiring, just can be slightly time consuming for such a small job.

Ok, let's say I want my rear turn signals to be just like the front ones. (stays on and just get brighter, dims, and brightens and so on......)

So all I'll need is replace stock with a dual filament bulb?

Is there a dual filament bulb available that will fit in the stock turn signal harness?

I'm not really fond of messing with the car's wiring, so I'm trying to do this the easy and safe way.

BTW, thanks for ALL your replies.

replacing the bulb with dual filament WILL NOT work at all, because there's no current going in to the bulbs when the blinkers is not on, you need the wire that current to the dimmer second filament

I have a dual filament on my turn signal, but haven't done the rewiring yet

Ok, So how would you wire a constant current to the dual filament bulb??

splice it in with your parking lights assuming the fuse wont blow

Can anyone "second" what OHMYSAC said above?

"splice it in with your parking lights.............."

i did that.. but then every time i hit the blinker.. the car beeped and all the lights on the dash flashed like the hazards were on. lol
