So i'm in the process of fitting lights into the useless flash to pass lense so i can illuminate the road more. So my question was how to do wire the FTPs to come on at the same time i flip up my headlights exactly like the japanese FCs. Could i splice into front markers without blowing a fuse? any suggestions? thanx in advance

Use these, If you try to make them yourself you will see the bulb. They are jdm ftp's.
