Using city lights for signal lights?

[maniacmatt]

So I have a diving board car and am using a rear impact strip on the front so I wanted to wire the city lights in my euro ellips to work as the signal lights.

What I did was cut off the connector for the signal/running lights that were in the bumper. Then I wired the ground and the signal power wires to the city light connector.

As it sits now the city lights flash when I turn the signal lights on however the flash very fast and and i get that fast clicking sound inside like you get when the bulb is burnt out.

How can I make this work properly? Or can I? Electrical gurus please help.

i used my high beams as turn signals on the drift car... they were actually wired as bolth i had low beams in the high beam buckets lows hooked up to turn signals highs remained highs...

The resistor for sure will do the job? How come it is needed?

Also define "wire it in parellel." I mean I understand the difference between series and parellel but how should I achieve it with said resistor?
