Default Parking Lights

I'm using the Painless kit on the 76' car i have. I was wondering if I should connect the parking light wire to the lights on the side or the front. I think that both of the side and the front go on when I put the parking lights on but I can't remember. I'm pretty sure that the front goes on when I switch the turn signals on too. Is this correct?

yes..side markers and front running lights should come on togeather. Also the front turnsignal and front side marker both flash back and forth when the turn signal or 4way flashers are on. Check your turn signal wiring by using the 4way flashers since they all run the same circut and you can check then all togeather.

Might as well wire in some fog lights into your parking lights for increased visibility (you to other drivers) for dreary days when you are driving.
