turn signal mod??

Has anyone ever moved their blinker to the parking light location? My blinkers don't serve any purpose during the day because people just cant see them. (the panel under the bumper is pushed back and mangled) So I was wondering if anyone has done this, I am going to try and figure out a way to do it. I did a search but didnt come up with anything for 2Gs

i did it cause they the signal lights kept getting busted. Looks good and actually works better, easier for others to see the signals.

Every time this question is asked that same link is posted. But when I go to it I dont' find anything like a how to. Did 88 LE do a straight forward how to? If so I can't find it by searching. Where is it?

Yup, its a easy mod and it works.

All your doing is cutting the ground wire on the parking/corner light and splicing it into the alternating +12V of the blinker.

I ended up cutting the light plug out of the signal lightsd and then drilling a hole in the sidemarker lamp. Then i epoxied the light plug to the housing so i have markers and flashers in the same housing. I can take pics later on today and show how if needed.
