Are those markers l.e.d on your flats? If not, they should blink in sync with running lights off and opposite with lights on....

Something to do with resistors, you may have spliced in after them.

Awesome...thank you. I did this mod today along with the grill mod. I had to add wire on the driver's side though. My wiring was ran between the fender and kinda pinched in there. There was really not much slack so I just spliced in a wire a routed with the rest. It came out really good. I actually soldered the wires and taped them up so I shouldn't have any issues later. Ran them all together again so it looks factory and is hidden well. I think this is a great mod especially driving around in Los Angeles traffic. Thanks for the easy mod.

If the outermost white is for the blinker, does that mean the inner white wire would be a "steady on" for the parking lights? I wanna wire up a set of angel eyes to my parking lites, but not sure which to splice into. Thanks!!

Tried this tonight with no luck. I think I blow a fuse some where because now I have no turn signal in the front. Will try again later wants I find the fuse.

Chances are you probably just blew the bulbs themselves. I blew one bulb when I did this on my 08. Also as silly as this is make sure you plugged them back up lol I was in a hurry and put my grill back on and forgot to hook one side up and was baffled forever then it came to me. I took the grill back off and sure enough

No bulbs are good, I tested it on the other side thinking I my have blown it. I put all the wiring back to stock and still no turn signal. Funny thing is when I got up today and took the jeep out the light was working again. So I just don't know what was going on.
