How can I turn my parking lots off with headlights on?

[Ricochet]

Couldn't find a diy anywhere.. I want the parking lots to be off but headlights on, when I turn the lights all the way on. However, I want the turn signals to work at all times . If this is an easy thing to do I'm going to wire a toggle to the parking lights incase I want them on. Yes I've looked at the wires and thought this through a little bit, but I can't get them off while keeping the turn signals usable.. Come on genius's, help me out.

the only thing I can think of right now is to put your front ones on a toggle like you said. there are two positive wires to each bulb in the front. Figure out which one is the running light and run each of then to the toggle. That might work I'd test it with out the running light wire connected first before I ran any wires. Somebody might have a better Idea

I think the + signal wire needs the + parking wire for it to blink though, that's my dilemma.

there is more to this. The turn signal doesnt need power to be going to the parking lamp to work. If it did you would need to have your parking lamps on to use your turn signal, but you don't.

Hmmm, guess I'll just have to try it and see.

theres 3 wires going to the turn signal. one is the negative the other 3 are positive. when u hit the switch for the lights, one of them is hot all the time and the other one is only hot when u hit the turn signal. but its not hot all the time its broken. anyway get a test light and find the one that stays hot when u hit the lights and put those on a toggle switch and ull have what u want
