I am planning to rewire my car this fall/winter. I have a 1956 Crown Victoria and want to have my front parking lights on when I turn my headlights on and to also serve as front turn signal lights. I want to install headlight relays as well. What changes in wiring must I do to achieve this?

We used to just run a jumper from the parking light terminal to the head light terminal. That would keep power to the parking lights when the headlights are on. The turn signals would continue to operate normally. I don't know about the head light replacement but most things I read recommend installing a relay for them to they can get power direct from the battery.

Y's guys rule!
