Wiring Parkers To Switch

[DECIM8]

Hey guys,

I want red parkers, now while adding different coloured parkers to your car is legal and abides by ADR rules adding Red or blue or white (white at back only) (red at front only) is illegal.

So I wanted to wire up a switch to my parkers to switch them on and off on demand to prevent legalities - yes I know not having them on is illegal but seriously will anyone notice? no not really. R34s have tiny faded ones anyway.

So would I just go about it hooking up a switch to the cabin and wire a link into the red wire that runs to the parkers? could I do this off the stick/blinker switch?

If anyone could help let me know

if your replacing the standard parkers with these red bulb ones you'll get defeceted straight away, you can interrupt the circuit that comes from the light to the switch on the stalk but if it comes down to it its unroadworthy...

find the wire which switches the parkers on from the stalk, connect your switch inline with the circuit... basically your interrupting the circuit.. its easy to do a little harder to explain lol

Might drill a second hole in the headlight and run a 3rd line to the headlight and have stock, red and off..

Just an idea .. but yeah suppose its not the smartest concidering that it costs $600 or so a set for R34 lights.

And I dont plan to drive around with Red parkers on .. thats stupid .. just for fun

DR doof .. u drive a R33? seen u at thornleigh maccas btw

finding the correct wire in or near the stick will be the hard bit... you could always trace it back from the parker... or interrupt the line at the parkers...

either way, switches are fun its going to be a bitch to find, but once you do, should be easy

Just run a light test on it .. u no stick positive in light goes on looks like weve found parkers .. easier than finding it from fuse box ..

Should be ok .. I seem to like doing rice wank factor shit haha

hard? lol i think its harder running the wires from the engine bay rather than getting it from the stalk.. or under the dash.. but regardless i just realised it wont work.. the only way to do it is running to the engine bay and interrupting the circuit in the engine bay at the actual head lights...

otherwise if you interrupt the parker circuit in the cabin i dont think anything else that runs off parkers will work when you turn the switch off..

but hard... no... either way its very easy to do if you know what your doing... and drilling holes in the lights aint the best of ideas either lol

yeah, theres no one switch the just does the parkers... it controls all the illum shit...

and yeah, i drive a 33, im often at thronleigh... i see so many skylines i dont know and get sad

come see me or ask around for me next time, i dont bite plus i think you and i have common interests

[Gazee]

sweet.. its settled... keep the rice off your car lol

cop pulls u over for random check:

cop: ur parkers aren't working, gonna have to issue u a defect

you: oh yes they are (switches on parkers)

cop: they are red! gonna have to issue a defect still

lose lose situation not worth it.

[DRD-00F]

custom fit a 12V LED in there on a switch then... easy as, and less chance of defect... and you could have normal with a red tinge as well

its just gay dont do it lol

[DECIM8]

Most likely they'd let me off for the out parkers .. just fix em mate.. oh sorri officer i didnt know they had been out..

If i turned them on when driving they'd fry me .. its stupid and I dont want to imitate a emergency vehicle .. just ghey

Im doing it I rekon I can do it from the stalk as its dual stage for parkers and low beams .. so should be able to tap it at the stalk .. I know its possiable on the silvia series .. jap spec has it stock
