Bumper light flash with flasher

Can anyone make a REAL Howto for making the bumper light flash with the flasher, and light when it's not flashing ? I read like 4 threads with this subjet and it was VERY confusing anyone said the same thing or it was for a miata etc ..

Thanx

David

At first, I used a nc relay to have my sidemarkers flash. However, the info found at http://lighting.mbz.org/tech/how_to/markerflash/ is much easier and actually works better. Now I don't have the annoying clicking of the relays everytime I use my remote to unlock the car!

Dude, take the two wires from the bumper light, cut them with about 12" of wire left so they can be run up to the signal lights in the front of the car; splice those two wires into the signal light wires coming from the adapter for the signal lights: leaving the black wire intact (that's the ground for the circuit). Done. If the bumper lights are turned off and the signal is turned on; the bumper lights will signal 'in-sync' with the front signal lights. If the bumper lights are turned on and the signal is turned on; the bumper lights will signal 'out-of-sync' with the front signal lights.

Hope that helps

basically just take the light that you want to do both right. And take one wire from it and run it to the turn signal postive wire. Then take the other wire and run it to the parking light postive. There.. Then like they said already ... when the P lights are on then they will blink alternaly and when they are off they will blink together...ok...
