For those of you who like lighting
 

I am still working on my lights installing switchback leds in the front turn signals(which take a 7444na bulb which is dual element)but for some reason our cars only use 1 side of the bulb(for turn signal) the other side is not used meaning you only have a turn signal at the top of your headlights.

But by looking at the back of the socket you will see 3 wires 1 + for turn signal 1 - for the turn signal and 1 black wire running thru the protected sheath but at the other end of it you only see 2 wires coming out,if you pull the black wire out of the sheath you see that it is not hooked up if you connect this wire to the yellow parking lamp wire you now have a parking light/turn signal with the stock bulb or any other 7444/7443 bulb you desire.

My switchback are white parking light then change to amber when the turn signal is activated,here are some pics to show you what I mean.

here you see the white led bulb on top w/parking lights on only

I am looking forward to seeing how this whole project turns out when everything is put back together and you get some better pics

It will be awhile my car is up on stands and my wheels won't be here for about 3 weeks:ugh2:

your killing me :icon17:

Very interested to see the final result. If it looks good, you should consider posting a DIY.

That is the final of the headlights I just have to put the bumper back on,but since I have time and other stuff to do I not rushing it.

Very nice! :tup: I've seen this done with the side markers before but never the turn signal. Cool idea!

Is it the black w/yellow wire or the solid yellow one? I trying it now :)

The solid yellow,sorry about that just connect to black wire from the back of the turn signal to the yellow parking lamp,then you will have a turn signal and parking lamp in the same bulb.

Yes, the black w/ yellow is the same that goes to the turn signal so I figured it had to be the solid one. I had thought about doing this before, but I was thinking i was gonna need to get different socket, bulb and extra wire. I was assuming and never checked the harness lol. +rep for figuring this out and sharing. Thanks!!

Thanks for the rep:happydance:

looks damn good Frank!

Where did u get the switchback leds? Do they blink faster than the regular bulbs?

I got them from autolumination,all led replacement of turn signals require resistor or special flashers to avoid hyper flashing,I used 2 6ohm 50 watt resistors one on each side,one side of the resistor goes to the + side of the turn signal and the other side to - side of it.

Is your main headlight bulb different ? If so what is it ?
