it can be done, but the side markers are only for use with turn signal, so how would that work when you have it wired to your lights? People would think you left your turn signal on, that could mean an accident...

i say leave them... safer

Maybe possible, will have to look at the wiring to the front turn signals to see about it.

But here is what I did on my Saturn to cause the side ones to blink (same concept could techincally be applied here, just changed around)
Took the ground from the side marker and attached it to the power line of the front marker. Now the front marker had three wires (power to turn on for with headlights, power for turn signal, and a ground).
So what happen was that when you put the turn signal on the power to the front bulbs would disrupt the ground to the side marker when it rec power. When the front bulb wasn't blinking on the ground was restored. Had it for about three years that way with no burnt out bulbs or wires.

I know but the same concept just changed could work.


*The change in the theory*
Instead of taking the ground wire from the side, it could be possible to take the power from the side and attach it to the front bults headlight power wire (The front turn signal not the headlight low/high wire.

Now the problem that will arise is how does the front turn signal work. Does it (for sake of conversation lets call the following wires-Front bulb power=FP. Front bulb turn=FT, Front bulb ground=FG)
A.Remove power from FP then add to FT. While blinking it just keeps removing power from FT till you turn it off then power returns to FP.
B.It removes power from FP adds to FT only when it wants to blink.

B is unlikely, so A is most likey the way it does it. Unless there are only two wires up there (FP and FG). If this is the case then it will work.

A simple glance at the wire will solve this, will go take a gander in a few minutes.

Yep three wires 1 for the headlight switch, turn signal, and ground.


Understand?

now the wires are connected to your blinkers so to make then always on you'd have to connect them to your headlights.. to have them blink and stay on you'd have to change your side markers.. cause your need and extra wirte on the sidemarker.. and a different bulb cause the buld you have in it only has on filement insid your need two one for flasking and one to stay one....
so bascvially you have three options:
1- leave them always one (change connection fomr blinkers to headlights)
2- only blink (stays the same)
3- get new side markers that allow both
persoanlly i got side markers installed on my car and it looks gbetter when they just flash
