Default wiring led daytime lights

Is it possible to wire them so that they flash opposite the turn signals

So they work like the Audi lights. so they are on and then turn off and on opposite the turn signals.

I think he's asking if you can wire the lights so that either the led or the turn signal is always lit and the signaling corner is never dark when the turn signal is engaged. In other words, when you hit the turn signal first the led drls are on and the regular signal lamps are dark, then when the leds go dark the regular signal lamps come on so the corner is never not lit.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think there is any way for this to be done with simple modifications to the factory wiring... I could be wrong though...

I would shoot a PM to theradioflyer. He could probably tell you if this can be done or not...

I believe it's possible, but personally I would have to spend some time playing with a diode or two and maybe a relay, to be sure.
But I would think it very do-able...
Knowing RF's prolific work habits he might already have the wiring figured out..

GL!!
