I was thinking of connecting my clearence lights to my turnsignals. That way they would blink whenever I used the turn signals. What do you think? Would it be a tough job to do?

No...but the next question is:

Will your truck's flasher, fuse, and wiring all handle it?

Check that first by using some jumper wires to carefully test-connect everthing....before you go through all of the trouble to hook it all up properly.

Remember: It all looks cool...untill everthing goes up in smoke....lol

if you just use a relay instead of drawing power from your flashers it will work fine. just use the flasher to trip the relay and have the relay draw power right from the battery or fuse box if you want.

Thanks for the info, but now I don't know if I want to go thru the hassle :? I thought it would be a quick and easy hook up, but now I'm not sure. I have never really liked working with wiring and this now seems a little beyond my talents :roll: . I really do appreciate you're replies tho and I'm sure it could work if I only had the experience to do it. Thanks again for the info. Dan
