My first "dumb Newbie" post:

Just installed some repro deluxe sidemarkers, even tho not "correct" for my year model, I like the look of them.

No lights or wiring run to the housings in '68, but the new housings are obviously made for snap-in type bulb fittings. Where to buy proper pre-wired fittings, bulbs, model #'s, etc ???

Also, while I'm splicing wire, I'd like to modify the parking lights, tailights, & sidemarker lights to be "always-on-when-running" lights, and also have the sidemarkers blink same as turn signals. Not scared of wiring, but also not smart enough to figure out "how ?"

Can't find any prior posts on this subject, so any help & especially a wiring diagram sketch would be appreciated.

My apologies to whoever I stole this photo crop from:
