Default Did the blinker mod

Been wanting to do this forever now. I always liked how newer, sometimes even older, cars had turn signals that toggled back and forth. So I decided to do it myself. Extremely easy, takes about 5-10 minutes per side, and only cost me about $5 for some wiring connectors.

Please excuse the cheesy video, I suck at video editing.

It's nothing special or new, alot of people do this to their cars, I just haven't seen it done on ours yet. It's just a simple cut and splice job, very easy for anyone to do. Here's my crude MS Paint drawing:



You're basically just cutting the ground wire from the smaller 194 bulb, and tapping that into the blinker wire going to the other 3057 bulb. That's it...

I like the music more than the mod. But the mod looks good though.

Yup, probably going to tackle the back one on Sunday. Should be just as easy as the fronts.

I would imagine it couldn't be too much different. Should still be the same concept. Worst comes to worst, if it doesn't work all you would just have to do is reattach the one wire.

The basic wiring is the same for the LT1 and LS1 birds and camaros for the front markers and signals. Wire colors may vary as already mentioned but you should still have the same brown and black and then the third random color.
