Question about Gen 2 projectors

Is it possible to make the 3 LEDs on top blink with the blinker? I read somewhere it can be done. How can I do it?

I would guess just wire those LED's into the blinker wire on the light/car...pretty simple?

I'm not too good with wiring, can someone explain specifically what I have to do? Or a diagram or picture or something.

no it should blink when you have your directionals on.
but im pretty sure if you do that, thats the only time they will be on.
unless you somehow wire them to your blinker and your parking lights. idk
my friend has his wired in his dodge ram they are wired to the turn signals and only are on when he puts his directional on.

The parking lamps go on as well as halos when the fog lights are on. I took the DRL fuse out because I have HIDs, so I use my fogs during the day. So they should stay on according to what you said. Now I just need to know how to make it work lol

You can wire them into the turn signals directly and they'll blink normally, not fast, but that is the ONLY time the LEDs will turn on. To make them turn on with the parking lights and blink with the signals would require extensive wiring and use of relays and such to make it work.

Can you explain how to do it and what wires and such? What about making the halos do the same? Or can that cause premature wear to the bulbs cause they aren't meant to go on and off?

I don't know I don't know anything about electrical, that's why I'm asking how it can be done.

im sure it would work but it would be a pain in the ass to get the wires for the leds on the passenger side hooked up.

Easiest way to do it is to take all the wires for the LEDs and put the same colors together, usually they're black and white or black and red. Then just tap into the wires that are already at the headlight. Any black will work to connect the black wire bunch to, and the white or red bunch goes to the signal wire which I think is usually blue. That's it. Do that on both sides and the LEDs will blink with the signals.

Here's a diagram. It looks like all I have to do is tap the pink wire into the blue wire. Am I correct?
