Hey fellas. I've got a 1970 Cobra and I just put LED's in all the exterior lights except head lights. I noticed that my side marker lights blink with my turn signals. I don't recall if it was that way before, but seems odd to me. Anyone have anyknowledge of such things? ------------- Thanks, Keith 1970 Cobra |

The front and rear turn signal bulbs are grounded through the filament of marker lights which is why they alternate. Your lights are operating as designed. ------------- Always working on something !!

Thanks for the reply. If that's the way they're supposed to work, I won't mess with them any further. ------------- Thanks, Keith 1970 Cobra |
