Default Side Marker Blinking fix?

I don't know where this topic should be posted so I will post it here because it's an appearance thing.

My sidemarkers on my EJ1 light up when I turn the turn signals on but I want them on when the running lights are on. Where do I need to change the wiring.

Also I searched "side marker" and found no information on this.

Get a probe and test the power in each corner light plug. Place it on each 'pin' in the socket, and when you find which wire has power going to it with the running lights on, wire the sidemarkers into that wire.

splice the power wire from the sidemarker into the red/black wire in the corner light instead of the green/black wire it's spliced to now

I have pix of this setup on my old EM1, I'll post one if you want.

I think they look fine as running lights... Mine were wired to turn on instead of the parking lights, with the city lights on as well... And they blinked alternating with the turn signals in the headlights...

i DID. The light still lights up and both the side markers light up its just the left front one is dimmer and when I turn on the left turn signal it blinks way fast. I checked the fuse and it seemed fine.

Keep them that way. Thats the way side markers are suppose to be. Having them on when your running lights are on looks lame imo.
