square led are diable permantly,so just the circle led is on when parking light is turn on. the outter circle can only use for 2 thing so i use it for signaling and brake light.
heres a writeup for ppl that are interested.
ill start with the pictures.
front headlight
rear taillight
inorder for this to work you must use the front signal and switch it around with the rear taillight signal because the headlight is dual filament and the rear is single.
#1 cut both headlight signal and tailight signal and switch it around.( if you still want your front headlight parking light on then i would not recommend doign this because it will only come on when signal so you will lose that,unless you find a dual filament bulb to replace it with)
front headlight is very straight forward, green wire connect to green and black to black, red wire jus leave it cut, jus like the picture.
#2 for the tailight you will be working with the dual filament bulb. also green connect to green and black to black. red wire connects to the green/yellow wire which comes out from the led board. you'll get a better idea with the pictures.
#3 insert the bulb on the housing, remember it does not fit perfect but with some force it will go in but will not turn all the way. use some force and alignment it up so it can turn just a tad so it will still hold pretty tight.
#4 plugs everything back and enjoy. pretty straight forward mod but very time consuming.
please do not blame me if anything gets burn or happen. if you follow the step it should be pretty simple. goodluck, any question feel free to ask

wasnt as easy as i thought but wasnt that hard either. it does require some cutting and spicing, rewiring a few wires. if anyone is interest i will post a diy, however there are no pictures tho.
