Does anyone know how to rewire the hazord lights/turn signal,on the front of the car to always stay on when you have just the parking lights on and the head lights, unstead of them only come on when the turn signal is on or when ever you set the alarm?

I know how to rewire the blinkers to alternate with the sidemarkers, but is there a way to keep the blinkers on full-time and still signal?

What is that? Is that a dual-filament socket? I've rewired them to stay on, but they dont blink anymore. What blinks if you have them on? Your clearance lights? This will really help me. Thanks.

Its a TWO element socket. Looking at it, I'd say it will not fit my '96 Max. Look here for more:

Re: Thats a two element socket

It will fit with a little modification. There's a little tab about 1mm that gets in the way. Just trim it off with cutter or knife. The socket is the same size and can be turn into the housing to lock it in place.

Look at this pic.

Re: Re: This is what you need

Yes, it's a dual-filament socket that takes 1157 blubs. Really Simple. Three wires. One wire to the parking light (low-wattage filament), one wire to the turn signal (high wattage filament) and one wire to ground. Now, it will look just like the integra.

Will the lights still work for the hazord lights when they are wired like this? Will they still flash when you set the factory alarm?
