Default ek sidemarkers (56.5 K maybe?)

soooooooooooooooo................................. ...I excited that these bad boys just came in the mail, and they came from ebay, and no they are not ebay brand, style, or look alikes. these beotches are the real shizzle, straight JdM Yo!

so, i got them and the left side marker came with three wires and the right side marker came with two, lol. but it doesn't matter considering it's a single filament bulb with one power and one ground, i guess they decided it was cooler to just wire up two power wires on one, lol.

Here's the dilemma, i'm not sure how i want to wire them.

should i wire the side markers to run all the time with the running lights via my turn signals?
or should i wire the side markers to blink the same time as the turn signals?
there's another way, but it's the ghetto way, and i'm not from the ghetto, lol.

so which way do you think i should wire it?

see, that's kinda what i was thinking, i mean, they won't be that noticable at night because i usually don't use the turn signals THAT much.

what? my turn signals are running lights, they're always on if i have the headlight switch turned one or two clicks. if i wire the side markers as running lights, it will match my corner lights.

its a shame that they are not dual filament bulbs, but since they're only a single filament, I guess I think you should wire them in with the running lights

one of them has two power wires so you only need one connection. you wire the second power wire of one to the power wire of the other and...TADAAA! they did it like that so only one spot in the fuse box is gone. Personally, I think you should find a tap in the fuse box that comes on when you have the ignition on and have a switch in the cabin for them
