Re: LED front turn signals

I was thinking about on the side markers, just cutting the parking light wire and using it as a ground wire OR maybe ordering a 3 wire configuration of the same led and wiring it in its place. No sure if that would change anything.

I just figured someone has gotten rid of the factory front signals and put in some sort of led strip/bar type signal.
