"Glowing" Front Turn Signals

Just wondering if anyone ever rewired their front turn signals to light up when the parking lights are turned on, thought it might be fun to do and create an interesting look. If so I would be interested in hearing how you did it, I am not an electrical expert so it could be something simple but I have no idea! I searched and could not find anything on this but might not be using the right key words...thanks

i think hes saying have the whole amber turn signal light up constant, sorta like a f-body or vette look. Then when your turning the one side will blink with the opposite still staying on.

Just wire the power to the marker from the parking light circuit (ie always on when parking lights are on) and then use a normally closed relay actuated by the turn signal power in line before the light, or on the ground side. The relay opens the circuit when the car would normally blink the blinker on, causing it to instead go out, they stay on, and still flash correctly. You can just find two normally closed small relays to do this, they don't need to handle alot of amperage.

Yeah you might have seen a picture of a CDN RX7. We use the amber turn signals as our daytime running lights. However, they turn off when our headlights turn on.

Mine are flipped. My turn signals are my running lights and my running lights are my turn signals. The only problem is they blink ricer fast (like you see when a turn signals bulb burns out). I just tell people its because i turn faster than normal.
