Parking lights to Running Lights???

I swear I am search challenged on this site. Can't seem to get the correct search terms to look anything up.

I know I read on here somewhere that it was possible to change out the '60's trucks old style blinker/parking light to a more modern running light/signal light.

If someone could pount me to that thread I would be quite thankful.

and while i'm at asking for favors.....

there is a thread somewhere explaining how to make all 4 headlights come on when using the high beams instead of just the 2 brighter beams?

I have the upgraged relay harness if that matters.

Re: Parking lights to Running Lights???

Are you asking to have the parking light filament to be lit with the headlights ?

If so, you can jump the taillight light feed wire with the front feed wire.

As far as the HIBEAMS, you will need to run another Relay as a separate trigger for the that ....

I hook the park light wires to the tail lamp wires at the firewall. Don't understand the headlamp issue.
