Hey guys,

I couldnt be stuffed wiring up the turning lights with all the relays and capasiters and fancy pants things so i thought of a new use for them.

It could be brighter, at the moment is using a 21w amber light.

Thoughts?

nope, its simple, run a wire too your existing indicator wire and connect it to that wire so it flashes with the indicator and make sure its grounded.

So it flashes in time with the indicator?


yep

Interesting.. That certainly different from having it as a standard park light! Are you going to put an orange globe in it?

Think its mostly because the main indicator is brighter then the globes in the foglight assembly. i have to figure out where to get brighter ones or try LEDs or something..

Bump! Hey Morgan and Rob, So can you guys confirm - they actually do LEDs in amber colour?? I'm not interested in amber halogen globes; its the LEDs I really want. Can't seem to find them anywhere on eBay. I'm yet to look in a Repco or RichardSmith shop.
