The cheaper easier way, is to change the socket to one that accepts a dual filament bulb... ...(that's what I did to get my stop/tailights)... changed from 1156 sockets to 1157 sockets...

Can you 'splian this? If you are saying that you changed the socket on your turn signals to 1157 and used a dual filament bulb it turns the rear turn signals into running lights and they still go 'blinky blinky' when you turn on the blinker, then I wanna do this. Seems I recall someone saying doing that was illegal...but if it is I wanna do it even more Shocked

I'm not sure you can do this with the new style bullets, but ya can with the old lolly pops. ta da... you got 2 filly rears. How to make it legal? get red lenses.

One wire is run, one wire is turn, grounds through the mount. Like these, but with red lenses... ... yep, that's the back end of my perpetual project 98 Savage... neighbor backed into it with a dually... :'(

Demin, did you by chance buy those from ebay? I may need to switch my wiring if you did. I have them just as a turn right now.

In a way, one wire signals are preferable to dual wire turn signals. Especially in the smaller versions... you can buy a half size 1156 pretty much anywhere, any day, any time, for almost nothing. Half size 1157s on the other hand generally have to be ordered in at the parts store or purchased online. Either way, 99% of the time, you will be waiting for replacement 1007 bulbs.
