Clearance Light with Turning Signal Function for Running Boards

Question:

How can I wire these lights to stay on when my clearance lights on but still have them blink when I turn my blinkers on. I want to stay with the clear lens thou. What system would make me achieve this. I cant hook them into my trailer lights via wiring them to any wires that goes to them due to it thinks a trailer is hooked up. I also have multiple locations I wish to do this on to.

I do have a solution for you but there is no way to wire the Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet # MCL11CAKB so that it stays on with your clearance lights but then also acts as a turn signal when your headlights are on. You can connect it to both functions and use a single park diode like part # RM-690 but you would only see the turn signal when your headlights are off.

For your application the only option we have available is the GloLight Uni-Lite LED Clearance or Side Marker Light with Grommet # MCL121AK9PVG. This is essentially the same thing as the one you mentioned above but it has an amber lens and it is designed to accept both the clearance function and then get brighter when you use your turn signal. You can see this demonstrated in the attached review video.
