Lightbulb Turn signal: little problem please help

Hi!
I Need to convert in Euro specifics my USA '79 model The first problem is the turn signal: the 2in the front are always on, and flashing on turn. I need that they are always OFF, flashing on turn.
What I can do?
Thanks a lot from Italy!

Do you have the Euro front lights in or are they still the US lights? The US light is only has one light in there that is used for a running light and turn signal while the Euro lights have 2 lights. One for running light and one for the turn signal. Post a picture of what you have and how they are lightin up

You would need a different set of lights. You need the ones with two seperate lights in them, like these

I assume this is for the US spec 80 in your sig. I don't own an SA, but from reading the wiring diagram...

Each front parking/running/turn signal has a 6"-8" wire pigtail with a plug on the end. Each plug contains three wires. One wire is 12V for the turn signal. (Right side is Green/orange. Left side is Green/red.) The black wire is ground. The Red/green wire supplies 12v for the parking lights.

If you disconnect the Red/green wires from each plug, the front parking/running lights should be off at all times.

No you need a different light housing and harness all together, like the one I have on my car, which are from Australia
