Parking light/Blinker Swap
Does anyone know how to swap the two lights on our bumper light? I've heard that some people have swapped it so that the corner of our bumper light blinks, and the larger part of our bumper light stays on all the time. That would be tight if anybody knew and could show me. I thought it was kinda nasty that only the corner of the bumper light stayed on while a large part of the light was only used for blinking.

cl-z is right but again thats how to do it. it ill take like 5 mins to get the plastice moldings loose in the wheel wells. then u got to snip the wires. then extend them and splice into the wire that was cut on the opposite harness. so i figure it will take like 15-30 mins. also the speed of ur blinke might change somewhat also since the wedge bulbs are a lower wattage.

Just like VXCL said, just splice & swap the wires for the side & signal light.
I'm assuming(oh boy...) those who will do this have some basic electric wiring experience(ie hookup car radio).
1)Remove bumper lens housing(what...don't know how to do it?? check the owner's manual-its in there)
2)You'll see two sets of wires(one to the side wedge, one to the blinker). Cut the wires and check the polarity of the wires with a voltmeter. Note the the + & - wire colors for each set.
3)Now splice the side(+) wire coming out of the car to the blinker(+) wire out of the housing and the side(-) wire coming out of the car to the blinker(-) wire. Vice versa for the other set.
