Quick Question< NEED HELP FAST

Hey guys I have been wanting to do this for a while and I am hoping that yall will know the answer to this.

Is their anyway to set up your front turn signals and side markers so they are always on automatically when the car is on. And they will still work when you turn the headlights on. I want to use both the side markers and turn signals as day time driving lights and I was hoping their is a way that you can make the parking lights always remain on as long as the cars on, and still be able to use the turn signals when you turn the headlights on or use the auto feature..

Thanks for the help in advanced..I really hope someone has a solution to this.

Ya I tried searching before and most of the threads just talked about leaving headlights on as running lights. But I hope some one knows a easy way for this trick

Did you read this thread ?
https://www.f150online.com/forums/el...ight-drls.html

8th one down.
Specific to using parking lamps in the front as the DRLs, not the headlamps.
Obviously you are going to use the parking lamps, not the higher wattage turn signal element as the DRL.

If you have your turn signals as the DRL, what would use as the turn signal ?

I don't have drls on my truck so I was hoping their is a way to run a wire from the park wire to something hot when the car is on that will make it stay on all the time. And when the park lights are switched on you can still use your blinkers.. I figured it they are always on, if you turn the swith to auto or headlamps on they will just remain lit...

Any ideas? And that thread is talking about the 03s and mines a 06. Their has to be a way to keep ur park lights on at all times by just keeping it hot.

Have you been to bed yet today ?

Look at the thread above, specifically posting #11
https://www.f150online.com/forums/2299513-post16.html

This diagram shows EXACTLY what you want to do, no requirement for DRLs to be installed, and your MY truck has the same parking lamps as the '04



What part of this is not clear ?

If you want the rear lamps on, just like the front, forgo the diodes.
