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>.

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.

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
