Mine are on with the parks, but when the signals flash will too. With the park lights on, they flash opposite of the front and rear indicators. smile

Personally I had them wired up just to blink with the turn siganals, kinda like an OEM feature. Also the bulb will last alot longer doing it like this too wink

I've had mine running both for almost two years. Still on original bulbs.

This is how I have mine. Dim with parks, full with blink. I like how it looks at night. I put the sidemarkers on last Spring and haven't had to change them.

Not a very good picture to show, but here is the dim with parks on. Sorry, I love this picture.

Thanks APT. I can actually see the dim sidemarker lights in your pic. BTW what color are your bulbs?

I changed mine this morning before work but haven't had a chance to really take a look. I have the clear bulbs and they look pretty good.

I have the A6 ones and I think they are just standard #194 bulbs. I got the orange ones that match the front corner lamps. I'm sure they both look good.
