Parking light mod

[Sepiroth]

If you've ever looked at the front end of our trucks, youve prolly noticed that there is a void in the headlamp area.

I thought that there should be something in there to fill that void. So I added a 194 bulb to act as another turn signal/parking light. I also took a video of it in action.

You talking about the top light?

 

[Sepiroth]

Yep

 

[Shaggy]

Looks good, I like that look.

I would find a way to have it on solid when the turn signal is on. Make a cornering light out of it or somthing. Then find away to have them both solid on, and put a 9005 bulb in, then upgrade to HIDS in there. lol.

 

[Sepiroth]

Yea yea yea. I kinda like blinking lights.

RT has a thing for as many bright lights as possible. how bright is it? Could be cool to make it a cornering light. I wouldn't want it to flash.

 

[jmildoc]

i agree with the cornering light, how did you wire that up man

 

[Timmy]

looks awesome, man. wish i woulda thought of something like that.

 

[Rollin Thunder]

Silverados dont have a wierd space there though. Atleast 03+

I just purchased 2 194 pigtails and 2 194 white bulbs. I spliced the 194 pigtails into the lower turn signal.

You must make sure the seal is weather tite as possible. That helps keep corrosion out.

If I wanted to do a cornering light, I coulda went with grounding one side to the body instead of using the ground supplied by the turn signal wire.

Thanks man.

i am actually heading to the parts store today, this would be an awesome mod, I am going to make mine blink too cause my corner is amber, how did you seal up the lamp?

 

[Sepiroth]

The hole I drilled for the 194 socket, I used a stepper drill bit btw, and the socket itself is a rather tight weather and waterproof fit.

I suppose if you wanted to, you could use some sort of silicone to give you peace of mind.

Somewhat off topic, but ya'll that have done this mod would know the answer to this... Is there space in that corner light area for a strobe light that's about an inch long?
