Why man ?
I was dirving behind the Olds Aurora for about a half an hour yesterday at night and I think I still have the image of those freaking bright red lights that is has on a bumper burned into my retina.

In that case OK:

No warranties or nothing... I think it should work though

Take the black wire that goes to the turn signal clip the side that goes into the car and ground the side that goes into the bulb...

I think... anybody sanity check ?

This is based on my impression that the Green wire gets dropped to ground every time the flasher blinks... it's too nasty outside to check...

everything is possible... if you really really want it I could explore the possibility. Maybe when weather is better...

Why would you want the turn signal was on all the time? A rear fog light is usually only on the driver side and is red. It might make more sense to wire it to a switch where the driver side brake light only comes on. You'd probably also need to isolate it with diodes so that you don't turn all the brake lights on when the switch is flipped.
