Does anyone know how to wire the rear turn signals, 06 750, so that they stay on and blink off? I switched my amber bulbs for red ones and I want them all to stay on. I searched but couldnt find this for the stock bulbs....NOT leds or integrate taillight. Thanks if ya can help.....

thats what i was starting to think...i think the relay would just have to be switched over...so it let the power in all the time and then when you hit the switch it would cut the power off and back on to make it blink

Maybe try a heavy duty flasher unit. Heat generated while the bulb is on causes the flasher to trip, and when it cools it applies power to the bulb again. A higher amp rated unit would probably cause the effect that you're trying to achieve.

But wouldn't you want your signals to flash in a manner that drivers are used to? I'm not sure I'd be crazy about the idea.

I think you got something crossed. This is what I have. I switched my turn signals from amber bulbs to red ones. I want them to stay on all the time and when I hit the left or right or hazzard turn buttons I wan that direction to blink off and back on etc..

Ohhhhh, I see, I thought you meant reverse the flashing sequence so you have long on, short off. Yes, you would have wire in a switched relay so that if the signal is off, power is applied to the bulb, and if the signal switch is on, it switches the power to the flasher unit. You could make it work with two simple 12V relays per side, but you should also be able to get a two-way relay unit so you could do it with one per side.

BTW if you switched your front turn signals with red, you might get hassled by the cops.

There is only one power wire going to the turn signal. You can stop it from blinking if you remove the flasher. But to do what you want to do, you need 2 power wires.
Just quickly thinking about it. I would change the bulb to a double filement bulb, which means changing the bulb case. Simple stuff at Autozone.
Set this up just like a cars tail light. One filement stays on as a running light, the other is wired to the flasher and blinks.

and another thing

be prepared to melt the tail light housing, i do not tnink is prepared to the heat of a bulb constantly on, the idea of two pole bulb is better from my view, because the one on allwais is less brighter tnah the one who blinks, and produce less heat.

Just got 2 red led bulbs today, that should cut out the heat problem.

i was thinking the same about the heat of the bulbs melting the housings. i wonder if there is enough room in the housing to add an additional led to it. the led would stay on all of the time. you could probably splice right into the main taillight. just a thought.:hmmm:
