sidemarker into a turn signal - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #18137 7 posts Started by H8DC3lica94
Can the sidemarker be re-wired to become a turn signal? cuz i want i think it would make my side markers look better.

not really sure what you are asking. I don't see any sidemarkers on your car and I think the stock ones already function as turn signals ???
The stock sidemarkers don't blink, but can easily be made to blink with the turn signals, or alternate-blink(is that a word? >biggrin.gif>) with the turn signals(the sidemarker would be on when the turn signal is off, and would turn off when the turn signal is blinking.) Let me know if you need me to post a wiring diagram. >smile.gif>

easy, just tap into the wires for the blinker, and boom there blinkers.

again, just take the wires coming form the side marker, and have them running from the wires (taped into) from the bumper blinkers, it might make them a bit less bright because your taking power ment for one, and haveing it go to two, but should not be a problem.

I think coomer is saying you can have them blink oppositle, that would be pritty cool, but kinda werid.
That's why you'd use a relay...so that you don't have brightness drops. >wink.gif>

And the opposite blinkers would be kind of like some cars that come like that from the factory. I've seen cars that do that, but I can't remember what cars off of the top of my head.

i made my sidemarkes blink like the turn signals .. but yeah, like coomer n' creis said, the lights arent as bright. my white sidemarker bulbs light up as yellow now cuz they are at half power. wut kind of relay would u have to use? sounds interesting. >tongue.gif>
