Default splicing wires...

i got a simple question regarding side markers. i'm about to install but i don't know which wires to connect them to. i was thinking, maybe splice the constant wire on the corner lens of me del sol. now will my corner light get more dim? or lose current flow because i spliced it? i want something super bright. thanks.

If you want to make sure they, [side markers] are as bright as they can be just add a relay, [off the batt.] and trip the relay with the parklight free pin on the fuse box, you can probably plug the pos. (+) of the side markers, [2] right into the P/L free pin. 94

Just wire them up like they are supposed to be. On with blinkers and on with hazards. They look great. If you try to make them on all the time. I dunno, but I kept blowing fuses. They look great. I used this site.

Btw, I used wire taps. No soldering. Looks fine, works great. And you dont have to cut the factory wires.

BTW not soldeing and using any kind of quick connect is GETTO!
