Running lights?

Hey guy's I tried searching but I couldn't find anything on this topic, How do I go about converting my amber front bumper turn signals into running lights/blinkers? because right now they are only turn signals and I'd love to have them as running lights, Ive seen alot of wagons with them but never a DIY, wanna hook me up with some info and pics? ty and plz

You could probably just get a set of bulb holders like the ones that are in your rear tail lights where you have running lights/brake lights and then run the wires from those new bulb holders up to the front corners. You're just tapping into the feed to the corners, and the reason you're using the bulb holders from the rear lights, is because I think they're pretty close to fitting the front bumper light housings.

-Look at tail lights and see what the holders look like
-Get holders that look like those in the tail light
-Connect to wires from corner lights
-Connect those wires to new bulb holders that house the running light

All Jaker is sayin is:Your front bumper amber light (1 filament bulb) socket needs to be converted into a 2 filament bulb.That's why use a rear tail lite ( 2 filament) socket.

Now wire it in parallel into the corner lites(running lights/blinkers).There is a easier way using 1 wire,but I don't want to confuse you.

:arrow: SiWagon Tip:If you look at the Wgn.rear .There's 2 running lights/blinkers on each side(1 on the corner & 1 on the hatch).What I've done is remove the bulbs from the hatch(personalized look 8) ).What you can do is use the 2 hatch sockets & bulbs in your front conversion.The wires might even be colour matched.
