Park light / Signal light Module

I guess I'm looking at opinions / comments.

Ive been looking at the issue of single filament park lights. Early mostly. I dont want to hack up the
housings. I want them original. However I also want them, to operate as signal lights.
I also dont want to hack up my harness, I want subtle mods and a board under the dash (hidden), to run the turn signal portion. I know there would be 1 wire required from the junction block back to light switch.

So specs would be
1) add 1 wire from junction block to light switch. 
2) keep original park light housings with single contact 
3) operate as running light/signal light - Low/High

If I build this would anyone else be interested in one?
I think it will be easier to make this work with LED, but might be compatible with incandescent.

I think one of you did this with relays, but I think I would be making this a solid state/PCB version.

Let me know what you think...

I used a signal stat 800 turn signal switch which does that for you just like the tail/brake lights. but I like your Idea.

Just to be clear on what is happening here....

This is for the front parking lights.... They will remain SINGLE element 1 wire bulbs. (1156 style)
Yes, I too will use a signal stat switch on the column, but that just sends the signal to a 2 element bulb. (1157)

This module will take the "split" signal/running light function from a 2 element bulb and send it to
a single element bulb.

The early housings have no room for a second wire, plus the later grill mounted lights have no room for the larger 1157 style bulbs. This should solve both problems. This will allow the grill and housings in both scenarios to stay original, using single element bulbs.

Some progress pictures to follow of my "new" restored housings...

No Camera trickery here, single wire, (1156 style bulb) using 220 ohm resistor setting.

Mike,

Perhaps I'm missing something... I assume that setup will simply "blink" the front light on and off, turn signal wise, from what I see it can not in that configuration function as a park/running light as well.
(please correct me if I'm wrong)


What I am doing, to the front is like the rear lights in that setup, have the signal light go on and off PLUS stay on at half brightness as a park/running light. (with original housing and bulb, as you can see from the pictures it works.)

So, when I turn on the signal, it will blink on/off with headlights off, OR go from dim to bright with headlights/park on headlight switch on.

As a matter of fact I'm looking at using the 905 switch so I can also have 4 way/hazard flashers too... 

I hope that clears it up...
