Simply do this: connect the side marker and front blunter together with the side marker wiring. Add a load resistor to the side marker wiring. Cut the front blinker wiring competely and add a load resistor. The lad resistor on the side marker resolves that bow. The load resistor in the front resolves that bow. The front and side both boing from the side marker wiring. Neitherhe side or front glow because the voltage in the line is not enough to power both bulbs (but is enough to power one).
I bought them from Umnitza. They do not have a resistor built in. Instead, they are hooked in to the front blinkers so they boing together and then each circuit has a load resistor to eliminate a bulb out error. If you try to use the existing circuit for the side marker blink, it will glow because there is always a small amount of voltage in that circuit. The load resistor will only eliminate the bulb out warning and carry the current, voltage will still be present.
What bulbs did you use for the side markers? I bought some for my m3 and they stay dimly light all the time. Do yours have a resistor built in? Thanks
