    Ah I see. Not from behind the valance, but rather block it off from the front, behind the actual indicator where you plug in the bulb. I'll do that now...
    I actually meant on the bulb itself, but on the connector would do the same shit.

    Which I did. Used some electrical tape on the actual bulb. Shouldn't cause a fire, right? I wouldn't think so.

    I'll post a picture up of the results later.

      Well here it is, results of my wiring "trick".

      It is as simple as taking the bulbs from the turn signal housings, and using electrical tape to cover one of the small bumps, and place back in!

      Here are some shots...

          Two power wires and one ground:

          One power wire for the constant ON parking light filiment

          One power wire for the blinker filiment

          Cut the one for the parking light.

          Taping the bulb to me sounds like... tape might rub through, not very permanent, but maybe that's a good thing in case you change your mind.

          Interesting mod though.

            and if your installing sity lamps, use the parking light one to power the city lamps.

              Why don't you cut the wire from the headlight switch. Just look up the colors in an ETM. This may or may not work correctly, but it's a thought
