    I know i've seen it somewhere before but cant seem to find the post i'm looking for now. I am trying to make my blinkers stay lit all the time, regardless of whether the headlights are on or not. Ive seen this on tacos driving by and it looks sick! someone please tell me how i can do this to my truck!

    I have done the mod to make the blinkers and markers blink opposite of eachother and like it, but would rather have the all time running blinkers!

    Okay I wired up the lights and now nothing is working... the marker lights come on but neither the blinkers or the hazards are working or even showing up on the dash. i thinking it must be a fuse, anyone know which fuse goes to the blinkers?

    Yeah I found it, must have just looked over it a few times. Im not sure what i did wrong but whenever i tried my blinker the fuse blew. Do you just cut the black and white wire and splice it into the red? if so what do you do with the loose wire? or do you splice both into eachother?

    B/W into the red. Tape the other end off.

    Okay thanks for the pic. I think i got it now, so you splice in the half of the wire coming from the truck, not the half coming from the light? correct? and tape off the end coming off the light? thanks for all your help

    No, you want the wire (B/W) from the light into the red/black and /yellow.

    That makes sense. The B/W is ground so you were basically shorting the circuit. :thumbsup:

    okay so i tried it again today and for some reason am still having trouble...

    i think i have blown the fuse to the marker lights now as they will not turn on while wired the original way, anyone know what fuse they are on? the manual says they are the same as the license plate lights but those are working fine.
