Hi y'all

I am trying to put cornering lights on my Monte Carlo, activated from the front turn signals. The problem I'm having is that the cornering light flashes with the turn signal, instead of remaining steady. The diagram I'm using is this:

The only difference in the diagram is that I soldered the capactor and resistor in one spot on the wire and together to ground. I have the two didoes in the circuit, just like shown. The light that I'm using are led's, from superleds.com. They are grouped in 6, and in a small case.

Should I connect the capactor and resistor in different spots, like shown in the diagram?

Like I said, the cornering light comes on, but it flashes in sequesnce with the turn signal. The relay clicks/cycles with the flashing turn signal. I can't figure it out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Iceman
