Convert Front Turn Signals to Running Lights (Part numbers & Pictures)

[Xsv]

I like the added visibility of the front turn signals doubling up as running lights.

I was able to find 1157 bulb holders that fit the Triumph turn signal lens at both Autozone and O'Reilly's auto parts.  The bulb holders were $6 each and 1157 bulbs $6 for 2 of them.  $18 project plus some solder, shrink fit and a couple 20 inch sections of 16 gauge wire that i had lying around the shop.

Timo, from the fourm, was over at the house as I finished this project so we snapped a few side by side to display the difference.  I was able to catch a picture with the turn signal on too.

Any chance of posting a short Video clip to show the Turn Signal operating ?

In the Photo it isn't "glaringly" obvious that the turn signal is on,
and I think a Video would show the effect much more clearly ?

Thanks,

I can see the videos on the post on my pc, but not on iPad.  They are in gallery if they are not showing for you

What circuit did you use to power the running lights?

The running light portion of the bulb is 8.3W.  I used the running light between the headlights to power the amber running lights.
