Default blinker wiring help

so my crx the front blinkers dont work the corner lights do tho. my idea is im going to install 2 sets of strobe lights, one for each side. but i want to slow them down to be bright but go the same speed as the back ones. my question is i need a solid 12 volt signal when the left signal's pushed then a seperate 12 volt when i hit the right. i cant have a pulse signal it needs to be solid. im wondering if theres a spot before the relay i can tap into? and before i get haters in my thread i can trace down my blinker problem because the wires were previously removed so that ones out. thanx for your time

Not sure about your local laws, but think I'd get pulled over.

You can tap into the lighting/turn signal switch, there is a diagram in the manuals. If you don't have one, download them free from a few spots.
There are 3 wires at the top of the switch. I don't have colors in front of me, but the top right wire is for LEFT and the bottom wire is RIGHT. Use relays for the strobes as to not overload the switch.

Also, you could just remove the bumper and look at the harness. Even if the wires were cut, you should be able to find them further back and fix those lights. GL

As long as the strobes are amber or white AND they flash in time with the blinkers then you should be ok. I say should 'cause you never know what the police are gonna do.

LED strobes are just as bright, if not brighter. I get mine from work, who get them from here: http://www.whelen.com/home.php These are the lights law enforcement use. They're expensive as hell but, they pull very little power. They have ones that only come on when power is applied instead of a pre-programmed flash.

That relay is there for a reason. I wouldn't tap before the relay unless it was the signal wire and I was gonna run another relay for the strobes.

I know it's too late, but bad idea to eliminate the stock lights with your tuck. Those wires should still exist in the dash at least. For the relay, the signal from the switch goes to the coil, ground to coil, battery power to the switched contact and strobe power to the switched contact. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you should read up on relays and consider having someone else do it.

are you just saying.... that you want your corners and bumper lights to blink at the same time? rather than intermittent?
