Cornering Light Question

Hey guys,
Not sure if this has been done before, but has somebody wired the cornering lights to a single circut with a switch so you can run them constantly? If so how hard was it an can somebody post pics of finished product. Im hopefully doing an HID kit soon and was debating doing LED cornering lights at the same time then the idea came to wire a switch.

Thanks in advance!

It has been done in the past, but the question has always been - "Why would you want to?" The reason being, those lights shine out to the sides not out front.

it would deffinitly light things up a bit better when making turns without a turn signal. you should do it. Not very hard. You can wire them to your headlights or even fogs. whichever you prefer. Mine are used as fog lights for the front and are wired to my OEM fogs.

my sig shows them facing forward. I can get night shots to show them on if that is what you are looking for? If you are talking about the wiring, I just found the wire on the back of the headlight for the fog and tapped into it with a wire jumper connector. They have been done for about 2 years now with no issues.

If you could take night shots that'd be sick. An I was thinking of wiring to a separate toggle switch so I could run them on their own or in combination with other lights. I'm glad to know it's easy to tap into fog wires though if I go that route.
