side markers A6's or BAT's

[polackSVT]

i have found an old post on the side markers, i wanna purchase a set, i wanna go with the ones from BAT (smoked ones) but a lot of ppl suggest to get the A6's . any other options left?

I got some from Summit and tinted them myself. I think they were ~$20.

well I just installed the A6 ones myself ... I wired them to be half bright all the time and full bring with the turn signals ...

I have the A6's and the previous owner of the car tinted them. Love the way they look.

I need to figure out what Brapple did to get them working half bright as running lights, I've always wanted that



Only pic I could find, and somehow they look round in that picture

Oh I thought it only explained just how to get turn signals working. Thanks, I need to learn more about electrical anyways, I have no clue when it comes to this stuff

it really isn't to dificult, the light will have two wires so you need to leads for the light. One will be for a ground and one will be for power. as the little diagram showed in the how to you need to add a diode and a resistor on the power feed, I did this with in 1 ft of the headlight so only two wires run to the light. the one leg will have a ressitor connected to the constant power and the diode goes on the other leg to power the turn signal. since both the constant 12v and the turn signal are on the same wire that is where the diode comes into play, it prevents the constant 12v power from going back into the turnsignal circuit. it also let the power through one way so that the signal goes full bright when the turn signal is turned on. just get the listed items and wire it up and your good to go

Can either of those be purchased at AZ/Oreilly's/Pep boys?

I like to actually look at them first before I buy them.
