Default Too poor to buy JDM fogs

The JDM fog lights for 5th Gen ludes cost a grip! I figure I can "simulate" them if I can get my front turn signals to stay on. Can anyone point me to some information on how to that WITHOUT making them blink fast (despite being chinese, I don't like rice).

I've tried searching for this (in the prelude, all models, and technical forums) using:

"blinkers"
"corner lights"
"always on"

and variants of the above, but no cigar.


Thanks!

You CAN make the lights just stay on without having it blink fast. Rewire the bumper lights' positive wire to your positive wire for the city lights in the head light housing. If you still want it to blink, you're gonna need two BOSCH relays on both sides. Wiring the relays is a little difficult to explain.

Do you know how the standard BOSCH type relays are configured? 87a and 30 are normally closed. 30 and 87 are normally opened. 85 and 86 need a 12V power and a ground to activate the open/close circuit. Polarity to 85 and 86 can be interchanged.

Once you've got that down, PM me and I'll gladly explain the rest to you. If what I just said sounds like a Best Motoring Video with no English dub to you, go and have a shop do it for you.
