Making turn signal your DRL with Flashback LED bulbs
 
So i just recently installed foglights and wired them to my Headlights, then i also grabbed some flashback LED for my turn signals since i thought they looked pretty cool. But turns out when i have all my lights on, it looks kinda stupid ( HID headlights, bright LED, Hid Foglights).

I've been thinking and looking at manuals for a while but i cant seem to figure it out. my goal is to somehow attach my DRL on to my turn signals while keeping their blinker function. So in the daytime, instead of my ugly yellow DRL coming from my high beams it will come from my white flashback led turn signals. At night when i turn on my headlights, my white led will turn off but the blinkers will still work (something similar to the BRZ?). If anyone has an idea on how i can make this happen, it would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Read this thread earlier today, Part of his install is doing exactly what you want. You would need to disable the DRL by requesting it from the dealer in addition to this method though.

That would be an option haha, but ultimately i would love to use them as my DRL instead of those ugly yellow ones. I just cant figure out how to wire them together :iono:

its "ghetto rigged" lmao
basically i just put tape over one of the pins on the light bulb till i found the one that lights up for the parking lights, then broke that pin off
its done to the bulb, so if u want ur parking lights back u just gotta buy a new bulb
OR u can buy a single filament bulb

the front turn signal "pop" more because its on and off, instead of dim and bright.. especially if u have LED with the instant on instant off
i have the v3 triton LED, so if i wanted the front markers back the adapter that i need to replace is $5 a pair
