Hi everybody!!
There is any way to make my turn signal lights to blink faster than normal?
Also how can I make my side marker light stay on with the parking lights and blink with my turn light at the same time.
(side marker lights are aftermarket and use 194 bulb)
                             Thank for any help.

you cant make your lights flash faster.
now for your side marker lights this can be easy or hard. if your normal turn signals have three wires comming from them that thats what you want. to set your lights up like that test the three wires one is ground and the other two are power wires one being the parking lights wire and one being the turn signal wire . these wire show 12 volts when active meaning when the parking lights are on the wire will have 12 volts and same for the turn signal now to hook this up is easy it may sound domb but i will explain why it works. just take the possitive from the side marker and connect it to the positive parking lights wire. and connect the negative from the side marker lights and connect it to the possitive turn signal wire. do this for both sides. now the reason this works is simple,
all things need a possitive and negative to work so what happens is the parking lights wire is the possitve and when the turn signal is not on it rests at ground so completing the cycle. and oppositve when the parking lights are not on and the turn signal is.. so this setup allow the turn signals always to work through the side markers with and without the parking lights on.
