Default How do i make only my headlights on and amber lights off?

Ok ill make it as simple as possible.
I have an EJ6
My little headlight handle thingy sticking out on the left of the steering wheel (NO I DONT know what you call it...lol well use the word TWISTY)
ok So I twist the twisty once ....and my amber lights come on.
I twist the twisty once more, and my headlights come on.

I want it to be, I twist the twisty once ... my headlights come on (No amber)
I twist the twisty twice my amber come on

Can someone help me customize my twisty?

The "twisty" is called a combination switch as a whole (that's the right and left "twisty" plus the switch body in the middle). One is the lighting switch assembly and the other is called the wiper switch assembly.

There is no good point to this, just live with how the parking lamps/headlamps work...

This would take custom rewiring of the switch. I have an easier solution for you to semi-achieve the lighting erection you're looking for.

Take out your blinker bulbs. Cover one of the contact points with a small piece of electrical tape. Reinstall. Turn on parking lights. If the bulb doesn't light up, then you covered the right one. Do the same on the other side.

This way, your parking lights will never light up, but your blinkers will still work like the JDM winker lights you're trying to achieve.



Now stop talking about gay twisties before someone gets excited.
