Default Need Help With Bumper Blinker Lights On 88-91 Civic

I am trying to make it so my front bumper lights stay on when my parking lights come on but also blink still. I have tried straight connecting the bumper light into the side blinker circuit and it completely shuts of those two lights. I have also tried just running the power from the bumper light to the blinker and the same thing happened. connecting the grounds together doesnt change anything because both light circuits use the same ground. I even tried using the circuit for the side marker light on the bumper light and it still doesnt work. There seems to be something in the circuit to prevent this from happening.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Use some 1157 sockets from the taillights. This way you have a 2filament bulb do it functions the way you want.

Alright. Ty. Is there something in the circuit for the side marker blinker light circuit that makes it stay on and blink because that uses a single filament 194 bulb?

The 1157 socket will have 3 wires , 2 will be from your stock blinker and the 3rd wire splice into the 194 bulb you are talking about ( the + wire for them) and it will work like you want. ( on with parking lights but also blink)
