Chris' 04 Sierra 1500 Fun Daily Build

Exactly. It operates as a DRL and parking lamp, Not an extra turn signal bulb

[LongrangeLauber]

I guess if I wanted it as an extra turn signal bulb, I would probably take wire B on the new DRL socket and splice it into both the wire B on the signal bulb, as well as the other wire with power to it?

[Chris]

Why would you want an extra signal bulb? But if you did, it will take 2 T-taps on each side, DRL A taped to PL B, DRL B tapped to PL A while wiring the new DRL Plug as I stated before, A and G. Basically your way you need some extra wire to make it happen.

 

In my opinion that is trying to do too much. You already have a front and side signal, my goal was to make it amber all the way across at night.

I would still want it like how you have it (normal DRL during day, comes on with parking lights at night) but then it would also work with the larger/ inside signal so the whole thing is a signal, but then goes back to just being on with the parking lamp after the signal is turned off. I just want it to be different compared to everyone, plus I think it would look good

 

I got plenty of wire so Im not worried about that

Having 2 big signal bulbs is nice, lots easier for people to see, especially during the day. IMO factory DRL's make it harder to see the signal during the day.

[Chris]

Wwwell you have 2 filaments so wire one way or the other. The signal needs its own filament. Most of my driving is at night

So if I wired it my way, during the day the DRL's would also still be a turn signal bulb, or would they only be a turn signal when the park lamps turn on?

[Chris]

Basically the DRL will be on whenever you are driving like mine. But the 2nd filament I used in that bulb for my extra parking light will be your extra signal. Basically for you the DRL and parking light will be on the same filament and the signal will have its own. Mine use a different filament for drl and parking light

Alright I got what your saying. So instead of it just being on with the park lamps the second filament will only come on when the turn signal activates?

Correct

[LongrangeLauber]

Damn wish there was a way that I could wire that second filament so it turns on with the park lamps and then it also blinks with the signal

If the parking light is on, the signal wouldn't flash

[LongrangeLauber]

I think I made it too complicated for me lol

Once a filiament has a constant power(DRL/Parking) you cant make that filament flash because it already is on with a constant hot

[LongrangeLauber]

Alright so that would mean if I wanted everything I would need a bulb with three filaments. This makes more sense now
