the way i have it, my corners are my turn signal and my bumpers are the parking lights. ive heard of ways to add another bulb into the bumper light by drilling it but i didnt really feel like doing that so i cut both corner lights apart, and snipped the bumper light from the wire, then extended one of the corner lights down to the bumper light bulb. now take the wire that used to run the bumper light and take it up to the corner light. splice that wire so you can connect it to both corner lights so they both turn into your blinker. this is how i did it. i have had not problems with this method YET. i have heard of several other ways of doing this and i have also heard of people having problems with several aspects of this i.e.- plastic in bumper light melting from constantly being on as well as other electrical/lighting problems. if you do this to your car and some thing happens you cannot blame me. k, thanks.

peace

So that's what your name is on this board Coupe! Yeah I did the same to my 97, in fact .. I gave him the instructions heheh. Yeah the other method that he mentioned was, you can go down to Pep Boys or something and buy 194 generic sockets. Drill a hole in the bumper light and get the socket to fit snug in there. Then wire it up to one of the corner lights .. I have actually though about doing this, but the light output in my mind wouldn't nearly be as bright as mine is today.

I accidentally crossed some wires when I installed my spoiler, so my brake lights sorta stay on all the time, the LED included on the spoiler, then when you press the brake it'll brighten up a bit. It also makes my cruise control not work so I'm going to say I'm getting back in there and wiring it right
