Okay, before I start hacking up my wires I wanted to throw this out there in hopes that someone can save me some trouble.

Here is the deal...

I want to swap my 7443 dual filament bulb in my 05 headlight set for 7443 dual action LEDs so that they keep the blinker/parking light functionality. I assume this would be a simple plug and play scenario. Can anyone verify?

It gets better...

I want to retro my amber corners with the same 7443 dual action LED so that they gain the blinker/parking light functionality, and blink simultaneously with the headlights. I was thinking I could just splice an OE 7443 socket to the existing blinker/parking light wires and send it over to the corners instead of using the 194. Does anyone know if this would work, or have a better idea of how to accomplish this?

Other cool blinker mods that didn't help me here, but might help someone else searching that hits my post before one of these.

 

yes it is plug and play.. on my 06 i had to get the 7443 harness to get it to work (plus wiring job) but you just need the bulb.. V-LEDS switchbacks

here is the link for the side marker DIY

 

^Thanks for this. That helps.

^This is one of the links I listed as not helpful . It is a cool mod, but not what I'm trying to do.

I want to add a second 7443 harness to each side and run it to the side markers, sans the 194 the OE side markers use. Does that make sense?

 

oh i see what your doing.. you want to delete the 194 bulb and custom make 7443 to fit correct? you would be the first to do this..

 

^That is correct. I'm going to mod the old amber side markers I have to fit a 7443.

Ultimately, I want the headlight and side marker to be illuminated when the parking lights are on as normal, but I want the site marker to have the dual action like the headlight to light up brighter when I use the blink. Both the headlight and side marker will blink the same way and the same time.

I may have to just do it an see what happens. I'll DIY it if it works...

Anyone else?

 

def do a DIY i be interested to see how it works

 

Here is a preview.
I spent about 4 hours dropping the bumper, removing headlights, modifying the side markers, splicing wires, and re-assembling everything. Oh, and I dropped some 6000K D2R bulbs in while I had the lights out.

Before I write up a DIY I'm going to have a more efficient, cleaner method, of rigging the side markers to accept a 7443 socket and bulb. The way I did it was effective, but a serious PITA.

 

that is sick.. def lmk how you did that..

 

 

that looks freaking sick.. do a write up on how you got a 7443 socket to fit the side marker outlet

 

are those the tenzo type m wheels? i had them wheels in black w/ red stripe.. looks good on your car though..

 

^Yessir. Love that deep concave in back. The time attacks are pretty sweet, but I felt like the concave popped a little more with the machine face.

What are you rolling on now?

 

That is pretty sweet. I think I should put my orange lenses in because the original owner had the clears already installed and in 5-years I haven't touched them. Maybe the orange will bring new life to them.

 

I got the varrostoen 2.2.2 set up..
