    I've searched and cannot find a thread on how to wire the turn signal lights to turn on with parking/corner lights.

    Any help?

    Thanks

    If you follow the wires going into your turn signals you will notice that there is one hole with a rubber stopper in it next to the other two wires. Now if you seperate the connector and the bulb holder there are 3 prongs for the connection. Remove the rubber stopper in the blank hole and run a piece of 16 guage wire through it then bend it over the prong and snap the connector back together. Run the other end of the wire and splice it into green wire going to the parking lamps. This takes about 10 minutes and works like a charm. There was a thread on here with pictures but I can't find it now.

    So if you do this, when you turn your parking lights on, the turn signals will come on as well?

    That is correct. Actually what is happening is that you have a dual element bulb. When the park lamps are on, only one element is burning. When the turn indicators are on both elements burn at the same time.
