Parking lights only?

Anyone know how to modify the lighting circuit to have just the parking (amber) lights on when driving and still have the rest of the lighting system operable for regular driving?

Thats an easy one for us Canadians with daytime running lamps...takes 5 seconds.

Open hood.
With hand pull rubber mat aside at the right side of rad.
Look through the gap between rad and right headlight.
Locate upside down U/shaped module about 4"H x 3"W
with black plug comming out underneath. Look back and slightly down.
Unpug and tape conections.

Thats it...no more daytime running lamps and ambers stay on with light switch on.
To reverse...just replug.

Yes,
This weekend I also did the Highbeam/fog inexpensive mod and put the new Silverstars in H13ST & 9145ST.

Thanks.

The highbeam\fog mod, is that the one that involves bending back the tab on the relay and grounding it? Or do you have a different way?
