I recently installed some turn signals on a toyota tacoma. The original wires were ripped out completely by the previous owner. I had to tap into the outputs from the wire harness that the relay is connected to near the fuse box. The front and rear turn signal lights are wired and work fine. Here is my dilema, the person that I did this for wants the rear lights to be on constantly and to blink when the turn signal is applied to either rear light. Bare in mind both front and rear lights are on the same output wires. In other words each side is spliced to the desired side. How can I keep the rears constant and have them blink when they need to and have the front blinkers be off and blink when they need to? I imagine some relays are going to be the ticket here, but I just dont know how to wire this all up.

Thank you for any help.

Los,
What is the purpose of having the rear lights on, all the time?
Knowledge is power. But only if you apply that knowledge in a positive way, which promotes positive results in others.

The truck was modified to have no tail lights either. It was a custom show truck, but he wants to be able to drive it around town. He wants them to be on so that they can act as rear parking lights as well and we are going to have to wire up a break light.

Use a dual filament bulb (like an 1157) and wire the low intensity bulb for the parking light and the high intensity filament for turn signal/brake light.
