This might sound strange if you didnt red-out your turn signals, but I want to know if theres a way for me to wire the rear turn signal bulbs to stay on (not blinking) whenever I turn on the Headlights, but to maintain theyre functionality whenever i turn them on. Any ideas?

^ and a different socket capable of using dual filament bulbs. Wire up so one of the filaments comes on with the parking lights and one filament comes on with the turn signals. It actually wouldn't be that hard to do. It'ud be unique, i don't think that anybody else has ever done that. Don't know if there would be any leagl issues though...

I made my whole tail light red with the exception of the reverse lights and figured that itd look better if i could find a way to give it the functionality of the lights on the trunk along with the turn signal functionality it already has.

hmm dual filament eh, yea i get ur idea, ill go see if i can find some. im sure itd be legal since my turn signals are red now instead of yellow.

who cares about legal issues, no cop is going to pull you over cause he sees an extra light on.....LMFAO, you people on this site are too worried about the law.

Plus this would make the rear of the car more visible at night. lol im still laughing cause you actually think he will get pulled over for this, hahaha

i think its because he thought my turn signals were amber, and ive never seen any car with ambers on at night on the rear end...but ima look into this and see if i can pull it off...ive tried tinkering with filaments before and ended up ruining the bulbs lol.

if ive learned anything from working on my car its this:
anything is possible with the correct wiring of relays.

You could also use a resistor in line with the bulb to reduce the voltage to it. This is what our ATV does instead of using dual filament bulbs.
