Front turn signals into running lights

Do you NOT have a DRL setting for the headlights ?
If so, use that feature instead of messing with your turn signals.

 

Well that idea might backfire.
First, related to the headlights, the "turn signals" aren't all that bright and would be even LESS bright if modified for running lights.
If they are on all the time and only change intensity when flashing, oncoming traffic might not notice the blink.
I think this is a BAD idea.

 

Probably easiest to drill holes for secondary bulbs into the backs of the housings, and then feed them from the existing parking/marker lights.
