Bright Idea?

Ok Ok this is proably just a dumb question but is it possible for the front turn signal wires to be swapped so that it normally shines bright with the headlights and when you swith on the blinker it will flash with the low filiment in the bulb? I got the Polarg M12 and looked at them at night and they look real nice at night when they are bright. Even if you dont know... please let me know what you think? I have never seen it posted and I think it would look great..... input people....

Evan.....

If the bright filament is constantly lit, how are you going to notice the one that is not as bright blinking??? Wouldnt stand ut enough in my opinion and could be dangerous.

Yeah, sorta agree with Mr Hyde but I do hate how the M12 looks when not blinking... even when brightly lit the M12 does match the headlights... when not blinking it looks worse.

Even So at night wouldnt you still see a diffrence of the bright filament verses bright and low filament? I think so. but thats just a opinion....

I forgot what I did when I was installing my M12's but I got the filaments reversed somehow. When the lights were on, it was using the bright filament and it looked fine. But when I tried to use the blinker, it didn't work. The clicking sound in the dash was way too fast and the light never flashed when I looked at it.

I think you can tell when it's blinking because it will be dimmer.

Instead of going from dim to bright, it's just going the other way from bright to dim. It should be fine.

As for how it looks, I think it'll look dope! Let me know how you do it once you figure it out. The problem is that it probably will burn out the bulbs faster tho. Oh well.
