Gauging Interest - New Blinker Mod

I am merely gauging interest on a blinker mod kit. Unless I am mistaken the only way to constantly illuminate and then flash the blinker (by actuating the turn signal) is to buy a socket for an 1157 bulb. This appears to be unpopular with a lot of people because the blinker does not flash on and off only bright and dim.

I have developed a kit that will not only make the blinker light up with the parking lights, but also flash both the blinker and sidemarker in unison. Doing this mod is quite simple, only a total of four wires will need to be cut and spade connectors will be included to make the instalation incredibly simple.

I still need to price a resistor but it looks like the kit would cost roughly 15 to 20 dollars shipped. I realize this is close to double what you would pay for the pep-boys mod, but i did it to my car and i think it looks MUCH better than the other method.
Let me know

Personally I think that having the turn signals on constantly, along with the heads, fogs, clearance AND side markers, the front of my car would look rediculous! As it is, our Maximas have more lights up front than almost any other car.
Think about it, with the turns always on, we'd have 10 lights on up front.

Well then in your case, 12 would be rediculous
