    thats weird must be grounding somewhere.


    but by far the easiest way to do this mod is to just switch the wires around like i did. you just need to extend the running light wires to reach the bottom. wish i could throw my 3000ks in them without melting them but there is really no reflector in them anyways.

    I had great success with this mod using Beau02's write up. only hyper blinks if one of the grounds get loose on the new turn signal sockets so be sure to secure those.
    For the bumper lights (the old blinkers), i found some nice bright yellow bulbs on ebay to put in em so they could actually function as fogs. looks great and would like to keep them in but the only problem is i need to wire in a switch to control the bumper lights manually otherwise if their on when weather isn't permitted, you'd get pulled over. so because of that i got the clear bulbs in as DRLs.
    Anyone know how to wire in a rocker switch with the fog light mod??
    I'm guessing a relay has to be thrown in there maybe?

    I did it the EASIEST way ever. Got some clear bulbs for down low installed those. After that I simply swapped the wiring from the corners to the blinkers. DONE

    ABS sucks.

    In this video here, what other lighting modifications have been done? The delay back to white from blinking is not typical of switchback LEDs I've worked with in the past. Do you have a timed missing-pulse circuit in there somewhere?

    there is a 921 bulb on the driver side from the car accident :eek: I had a few months ago, I had L.E.D. bulbs on both sides but with the fix I got different bulbs put in to the corner light and my headlight. I had an H.I.D. bulb on aswell but that got messed up need a new kit might go with a different brand.

    My buddy had the hyper blink only when he pushed the brake in, and mine had hyper blink even with the 921s. A simple LED resister from Autozone fixed them both. I think they are like 5 bucks each.
