would there be a way to make this work with led's?

Looks like a lot of work for what you could do with a trailer tail light converter, some splice/taps and an electronic signal flasher... and not have to modify the corner / parking light housings at all.

We went to Autozone, Advance Auto, and O'Reily's and none of the stores had what you are talking about. We tried to do that in the first place as well.

please explain how this locates the turn signal into the corner lights.

i found these and bought them today....

they have a twist lock on them and im hoping to incorporate this into the mod for easy replacement of the bulbs...

i also wonder if there are any creative ideas out there to use for a spacer, besides the bubba-job bottle-cap idea. im headin over to home depot to see i there is abs/pvc cap that would be sturdier and mount to the surface easier than a flimsy bottle cap. is heat from the bulb ever a concern?

please list some ideas i know they are out there!

The bulbs sockets I bought off e-bay had steel plates that I pop riveted to the housing. My build is in my sig.

looked up your build jardin and couldnt find any blinker mod, nice rig tho!

when i got to home depot (i hate the orange box, but ace was closed), i b lined it for plumbing and took a look @ various sized of couplings caps plugs and pipes. came across a schd 40 1 inch outer plug that looked like it might work, it will take a lot of patience to make it happen. it looks a little thick (like one kerf too thick for the tabs to work, clamp and chopsaw), unibit a hole in there, then i will have to dremmel channels into the plug for the socket to lock, chop the plug in half (way too long) and still find the best way to adhere it to the housing, most likely silicone. this makes the wiring look easier by the second...

ok i'm conveinced this is the best way to go if i want a really bright parking light and also add a blinker at the same time , only i'm gonna hook up the not so bright filliment side of the bulb to 12v power when the engine is on an use it as a day time running light and the other side of the filliment ( the bright side ) as the blinker , ok got everything i need per you guys help gonna go down stairs to the garage and start this i will post pictures when i"m done.

I love the oil drips under the truck. Looks like my parking spot in front of the house. Thing leaks like a Harley.

ok i got one side done getting a little dark and its saturday night so gonna finish the other side tomorrow. i also ended up hooking it up the way everyone else hooked theres up . over all out of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best i give this emprovement a 8 because the parking light is brighter but about twice as bright as the little bulb that was in there not three times like some one mentioned , how ever the blinker is pretty bright not bad, happy with the mod .
