Default Clear corners/hid

Im looking to do the clear corners mod to my headlights. Then im gonna get 2 sets of hid kits from krauto for lights and fogs. Taking the orange plastic out seems easy enough. My question is how do I make the blinker bulb only blink when I turn on the turn signal? I dont want it on solid when the headlights are on. It looks like ***.

Just use a single filament bulb. When you turn on the parking lights, if the bulb illuminates, you'll have to locate the turn signal wire in the harness, and rewire so it supplies the bulb.

Actually, I am wondering about the same thing(for the turning signal only). For some reason, only one of my lights is on all the time, but then the one that isn't always on, only turns on to flash. Which cables should I switch in the connection? I know where they are and the colors and whatnot, just not which is which.

Thanks

Kratuo HIDs are the **** for sure.

The side markers shouldn't be flashing, unless your turning. if they are you have a problem

No thats not what I meant. They only flash when i put on signal but if the headlights are on the blinkers are on solid not blinking. I want them off unless I use them to turn.

Trial and error? If you're not too shabby at soldering just play around with the wires to see which one does what. Re-solder the useful ones. Just an idea

I can solder i just figured someone else didnt want those lights running either and already knew what color wire to cut. Ill go that route if I have to.
