You could use the 'corner light rewire' mod in combo with a relay. The relay would trip when you hit the blinker, causing the light to get brighter.

The clearance light already gets brighter when the blinker is on.

Supreme - what year max do you have?

And yes, only 95-96 do the corner lights get brighter when the turn signal is on.

MOHFpro90 - I don't know much about relays and you may be onto something with what you wrote up a few posts earlier. I don't know if that would be easier than what you are about to read.

Here is what i am thinking if you are 97-99...bear with me on this...

Do the bumper re-wiring so that the bumper light uses 1157 bulb and stays lit when lights are on and gets brighter when it blinks. http://www.vqpower.com/v2/modules.ph...howpage&pid=53

You would want to use the 1157 type socket that will fit the corner light, so you can trade the corner light socket with the bumper light socket.

The corner light socket should just fit in the bumper light socket. You may have to extend wires.

The new bumper light socket should fit in the corner light socket. Again, you may have to extend wires.

So in the end, the bumper light will be continuously lit and the corner light will be lit and blink.

Does that make any sense at all? It's getting late so it may only make sense to me...
Let me know...Dave
