Wasn't sure where to put this so ... I have lighted West Coaster style mirrors on my ride. I would like to wire them so as to come on w/ park lights but also blink w/ turn sighals. I been to couple of web sites posted fer 12v wiring but haven't found what I need . :( Any pointers, sites help would be apprecated<sp>.

go straight to your front turn signal wires.

use two diodes,and a resistor.
resistor on the park light curcuit with a diode to prevent feeding back,and just a diode on the signal.
that's assuming they use led's, with incandescent bulbs, i'd just hook the signals up. :cool:

Thanks Guys, I'll let yah know how it goes. Yes they'er inc'd bulbs, Kicker. Power off the park light, is straight forward. Sorry, I forgot to mention that they are single element bulbs. So to get a single element bulb to flash in time, or oppsite, the turn signal, I was thinking that I could ground through the power wire for the turn signal? Turn signal light on = no ground = blinking light ??? Faulty thinking ? Power overload ? May take a week or 2 to get on this, cause I don't do well in the driveway at -25c :(
