Unusual question here...

Have a `96 Suzuki GSXR-750 that when the bike is running, the right and left ambers are strictly turn lights. Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way using relays to wire these lights so they are also running lights until you turn the blinker on, then they function like normal!?

Well you could wire the power going to them to ign and use a relay to break the wire when the turn signal is used. So you would cut the wire going to the light and wire that to pin 85, pin 86 would be ground, 30 would be ign+, and 87A would be output to light. This is assuming that the light's power is what controls the blinking.

I will try that with one of the lights in the next couple days! I am assuming as well, since the wires are basically direct from the fuse block to the signals!
