Default put blinkers in my headlights today

i used amber 1157 bulbs and sockets in the parking light bulb hole and a universal blinker switch. just gave a little squeeze with pliers to grab the sockets.

Did I see a faint flash of the right side lights ? Maybe the blinker fluid level is a bit low. Below is the link on proper blinker fluid level.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I too like to use the front park lights as turns also, especially if there are no cowls.

I noticed that also. If you look at it the right headlight gets brighter when the left turn signal turns off. Your turn signal must have quite a draw or maybe your battery is weak...

I couldn't quite tell if it was a reflection or not, or, just being plain ole crazy. So, I'm glad someone else saw it.

If it wasn't a reflection, I'm wondering about a ground and a backfeed.

I should also say I've seen Signal-stats cause flash problems because they were packed too full of Goo [ technical term]. Cleaning them resolved the issues.
