    Recently I have bought White led lights to fit into my blinkers. I have led corners as well and wanting to keep those the same but want my blinkers to stay on with my corners and when then blink when i use my turn signal Would i be able to just take a wire and splice from the corner light and then wire that to third hole in the blinker socket?

    Ok so I wired a wire from the positive on the corner light into the third hole on the blinker socket and got nothing. Then I wired the positive from the corner to the positive on the blinker and it came on with my corner light but so did my rear blinker and the arrow indicator inside...anybody know what I should do? The bulb has one positive and one negative and not like the dual filament blinker bulb with 4 different connections

    You have to wire the positive from the blinker, to the positive of the corner light...and disconnect the original positive of the corner light....you can't just simply pigtail it in. You can, but you need a diode. I'm assuming based on your question alone that you have very little understanding of wiring so the diode option is probably out of the question. There is a write up of this already too.

    Edit: For the LED's to operate normally, you may need to add resistors, wired in series, with bulbs as well. I'm not 100% on that one.

    Ok so I've had the fog lights hooked up for a couple weeks now. I took the positive out of the blinker socket and tapped a positive from the corner light so the fogs come on with the corner lights, only problem is I have no front blinkers and couldn't figure out a way to wire it up so the fog light flashes for the blinker...I found this write up and basically need to do this but just to the bottom light...I just don't understand what I need to do that...I know someone on here has to know!
