I can second that, live in S.Fl myself. Your waiting to make a turn lets say from a stop sign, waiting on a car coming down the road. If you knew the Dumbo was going to turn right onto your road you wouldn't have to keep waiting on him, thinking he was going straight. Some people just don't have a concern for anyone else.

Finially got arround to doing this, took my time, about 1 taped everything as it was from the factory, used marine water tight bullet terminals and they fit inside the plastic wire wrap. Dam and I had bought a six pack.
thanks to everyone who posted and made this so simple. Tucker dog really couldn't care less, he was just happy that it didn't take to long, more time for swimming.

Make sure to CUT the black wire to the marker light coming from behind the headlight. Then tap that into the outside wire on the turn. Done!

Just did this mod. There's not a whole lot of room behind the head light and the wire running to the fender light doesn't have much of slack. Passenger side worked fine with no problems, but the driver side I had a few. I unplugged the harness from the fender to try and get more slack and forgot to plug it back in. Then my splice connector didn't cut through the wire enough. But once I figured that out it worked like a champ. Now I just need to clean my rats nest up. Thanks for everyone posting, it helped alot. I'm working on the grill mod next.

Just did the marker light mod but I have a question.. Please bare with me If I don't check all 24 pages of this thread for the answer

With my headlights off, The marker and front grill turn signal lights blink in unisense

But with my headlights turned on the turn signal and marker lights blink opposite one another

is this the way it should be?

BTW, I am using IPF headlights if that helps


Thanks
