Converting Turn Signal Marker Lights
Ok, I don't want to sound crazy but : I'm thinking of Converting Turn Signal lights into Marker Lights. Basically having the turn signal lights stay on when the lights are powered "master switch on" and when turning the signal lights are engaged the lights would basically turn off as signaling a turn. Sort of working in the opposite polarity. Is this possible?

Re: Converting Turn Signal Marker Lights
You could do it but it would involve 24 volt constant duty relays and regular 24 volt relays and different 24 volt flashers and a lot of wiring. Not worth it in my opinion.

Re: Converting Turn Signal Marker Lights
The military had a kit that gave 151s side lights particularly for European use.
I have installed them on several of my Mutts over the years.
The fronts were fender mounted on special brackets while the rear were installed on the fender.
The lights they used are readily available
Have extra front brackets if you are interested
Can email pics if you are interested.
Hope this helps.

Re: Converting Turn Signal Marker Lights
hi
you can make it work as direction light and the same time as marker lights
try one you will like it
take the glass of and you see the ground wire
it sits with a screw to ground
take the screw loose and put a wire on the cable
if the light is now a marker put the new wire to the direction wire
if the light is a direction light put the new wire at the lights
now it works as a marker light bud if you use the direction light it go contra blink at the normal direction light
it works like this
if the lights are on it gets ground trow the direction lights
if you not use the lights bud the direction lights it gets ground from the lights
if you use the lights and the direction lights
if the direction light is on the bulb gets on both side`s 24 volt there is no voltage difference so the light is out
good luck with it

Re: Converting Turn Signal Marker Lights
hi
waar zit je
als je het kapje van de lamp neemt
dan zit het massa draadje met een schroefje vast
neem dit los en verleng dit
als de lamp voor die tijd brandde als het licht aan is moet de nieuwe draad aan de richting aanwijzer
als hij knipperde moet de nieuwe draad aan het licht

I see that it works for a A2 I'm asking of a A1 version.

Re: Converting Turn Signal Marker Lights
Careful with that, if you are grounding the supply wire for the turn signal light then that is a direct short and you can destroy your flasher unit. Maybe I am not understanding what you are doing?

Re: Converting Turn Signal Marker Lights
hi
i NEVER wrote you must get it to ground
one side sits on the positive wire at the lights
the other one (inside the marker light )is taken of from the ground and go to the positive wire at the direction light
thads all to it
