Default Corner lights/Turn signals

I've searched the threads for an answer, hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Has anyone wired their corner markers to act as running/parking lights while still retaining the turn signal application? If so, how did you do it?

Thanks in advance.

PS I have the clear lens with LED lights

Do you mean to have your TURN SIGNALS acts as running/parking lights while still retaining the turn signal application?

a relay, fuse, connected to the turn signal wiring for the headlight would do it

given its location I cant see any safety reason for it

I installed headlights out of an '08 model (which are the same from '06-'08) in my '03 and when my parking lights are on my turn signals bulbs remain steadily illuminated. They still function as usual when I use the turn signal stalk.

I've been thinking of running drl using the turn signals. My only question is is there a specific relay I have to buy? I've done electrical work using relays but never tried to power an alternating on/off lighting source. Is there a relay I can buy at radioshack or autozone or even online to help me do this?

It'll look corvette-ish LOL I know ricer right? I think that Z could pull it off, but I'd like the turn signals to revert back to the stock function when the regular headlights turn on (dont want to use the DRL when the regular low-beams are on).

Guess I stated it wrong. The corner reflectors, could you use wire them up to be on while you have your lights on, but blink as turn signals? I saw where people have run two led strips on them. I was thinking of the same, one white and one yellow.
