Thanks for the info though.
I like the alternating flashing also.

Still waiting for a response from anybody who has done this mod to a later model, 2011 JK. My JK was built in March, 2011, and I have tried a couple of times to get this to work.

I checked and double checked all my connections - does not work.

Has anybody done this mod on a later model, 2011 JK?

I just did it.. Took under twenty minutes to do and I did a few other things while splicing and clipping...

With a 2011 it works as expected.. exactly as my 2008 did. Side marker and front turn signal flash together when the running/head lights are off and switches to alternating when you put the running lights on.

On a scale of one to ten wrenches with ten being the most difficult, this is about a half wrench.

Thanks,

When I first hooked it up, it didn't work..... Lol... Spiced into the wrong side of the black wire, going to the marker light. Then re wired it, the way the op wrote, and works... Thanks

Cool

For any '11 owners, it can be done!

It wasn't till I looked at this http://www.danielsternlighting.com/t...rkerflash.html website that the picture was clear in my head. Perhaps it will help anyone out there too.

I tried this originally and got it wrong. For some reason, we'll say I had a brainfart, when I cut the black wire on the side marker, I took the wire that would have been connected to the wiring harness and tapped it into the wire on the front flasher. Then after I saw the above website, I realized, duh! I have to change that to the wire end attached to the side marker itself. I don't know what I was thinking. Anyways, it's all soldered in and good to go! If any '11 owners have any questions about it, please feel free to hit me up!

Took 1/2 hour to complete and works great. Easy mod to do.
