ok i see the part where you can always get the 1157 bulb bright at all time.
now for the smaller 194 in there...do u wire it so it will only light (blink) when you flip on the turn signal..
OR
it's always lit (when lights are on) and when you flip the turn signal it'll blink.

in the diagram the blue wire is connecting the ground wire (on the 194) to the hot wire of the blinker blub. am i looking at this wrong? is the pink wire in the corner (-) when the bulb is not blinking?
thanks!

the 194 bulb (the yellow part of the corner light unless you have clears) will be on like normal with your lights, but it will blink when you put on your turn signal (it blinks alternately from the bumper blinker).

what happens is you connect the front bumper turn signal's + wire (pink) to the - for the 194 bulb; the pink wire provides enough of a ground for the 194 when it doesn't have power (ie blinker is off) so that the 194 will work like normal, but when the blinker is on, it sends a + signal so the 194 has two + signals, and no ground so it won't come on, then when the blinker signal is off, it will come back on (hence the alternate blinking)

hope this helps; if you have any more questions, just ask
