Two hot wires, one for running lights, the other (brighter filament) for the signal impulse. and a ground wire for reliability. Is that what you're trying to achieve?

If that's the case, you could also install a Kisan Signalminder, it has the running light option

They are the Drag Specialties mini bullet turn signals. They only have 2 wires, red for hot black for ground, but have a dual filament bulb. I had the same ones on my 03 and they ran fine, but when I try to wire them up to the 06 I get a faint flash on the opposite bulb in the front and both blinking in the rear. I got frustrated and tired of messing with them so I just got a set of K&S single filament 2 wire turn signals from British Customs. Thanks for the help though, as always it is greatly appreciated.
