RUNNING LIGHTS 4-WAYS ON CONGRATS you are JDM TYTE YO!!!! Edited by turtle240, Mar 14 2010, 03:45 PM.

Deleted User	technically speaking you have those wired incorrectly for what the purpose of the dual bulb setup is. the markers (the small light) is supposed to light up independent of the turn signal. the turn signal lamp should only illuminate when the turn signal is on. its a simple fix though, just remove the parking light wire from the turn signal lamp. good write up though!

Deleted User	if youre going to do 5050 tails, you should buy legit ones not the knock off garbage. there is a noticeable difference in quality with those.
