Ok, I have been racking my brain for the past couple days over this. I even sent a couple PM's asking for any ideas (if you guys have any different ideas feel free to add) OK, heres the problem: If you are familiar with the 6-way conversion you should understand (that is if it is even done the same way I do it). Okay, to make the dually side markers flash with the turn signal and work with the parking lights, the - side is connected to the + from the flasher, and the + side is hooked up to the + from the parking lights. When the flasher flashes, the light gets ground through the de-energized parking light circuit, when the parking lights are on, it gets ground through the de-energized flasher circuit. When the lights are on (getting ground from the flasher) that ground is cancelled out when the flasher energizes. Thats what I learned and did. The problem occurs when you have LED's for side markers (as do I). Diodes will only let current flow one direction through them. So they are only gonna work one way here. Anyway to the point, I've rubbed my 2 brain cells together and found a way to eliminate this problem using 2 relays for each side and I am proud of myself for doing so. If anyone has run into this problem, PM me and I think I can explain it a little more, and for anyone on here or from the MDTDR who wondered where I've been, my license is suspended til June 6th and I've been sitting in my basement thinking up useless things like this and collecting dust. Thanks to anyone who listened to my story.
