quick question. '02 cavalier, i put blue xenon bulbs in my head lights and put on clear corner lenses, also have the same bulbs in them. now it kinda makes me sad to see those nice blue lights look so dim in the side lenses :(

let me explain;
they are turn signals, so the light is very dull. when you signal, obviously they flash brighter and match the brightness/color of the headlights.i was thinnnnnnking, would there be some way to reverse the lights? what i mean is, i want my side lights to come on bright and the flash to be dull, as apposed to come on dull and flash bright. any ideas would be great. thanks

this can be done by switcing two of the three wires on the harness for the turn signal lights.  of the three wires, one will be the ground (probably black color).  so just swap the other two.  the problem with doing this is that you won't have signal lights blinking anymore.  actually... it will blink, but not bright enough to be seen as the dim blinking can not be seen while the brighter filament is on.
