you simply cut the wires going from the front side driving lights and the ones to the blinkers then makethe blinker wires go to the driving and the drivings wires to the blinkers.

sorry to keep bugging about this but yesterday i was about to do this but still worried about the wires.
the gauge going to the 2 light sockets are diffrent sizes...simply by only one guage size but there is still a differnce and may cause prob with high voltage going through a smaller gauge wire.
can anyone with electronics experence confirm this??

I didn't notice them being different gauges when I looked - but if you say so, it sounds like you'd need a microscope to be able to tell. Electronics aren't that precise - they'll work fine. There's a fudge factor of a few gauge width in each direction here. You'll be fine even if you doubled the current through each set of wires I'd bet.

all right all right...i think we have beatn' this thing to death now...gona try in the morn.
and i needed no microscope...simply my handy-dandy wire stripper...it tells you the gauge right where you cut.
but it is reassureing if there is a "fudge factor"
i just know of plenty of people who have melted wires , harnesses , and worse by playing around with the wires in their car...and i don't want to have to explain to the dealership why i need it fixed
