Not too long ago I had two different people pull out in front of me which caused panic stops on my part. I decided that adding DRL's wouldn't be a bad idea. My 08 LTD is silver and I suppose, in certain lighting conditions it doesn't attract enough attention. Who knows, but lights should help eliminate that issue.
I bought some switchbacks for the front parking lights, and they do work as advertised (white running/amber turn signal) but the parking lights have to be turned on. I'd like them to come on automatically when the truck is started for my wife, daughter and my occasional brain fart.
My questions are: If I run an ignition switched lead to the parking light wire will it work?
Will it back feed to the rear lights? (If it does can I terminate the wire before the splice)
Will any of this confuse the trons in the computer?
These are my shade tree thoughts and that tree was planted well before computers in cars were born.
I appreciate any guidance you can provide.
