ok guys, I've installed a 2nd pair of lights in my front signals, which are blue. and am trying to put it on a switch so I can swith from orange to blue. I've had luck only with the running lights(low setting) the flash for signals will not work on either of them.. this is how I have it set up

3 wires on stock bulb sockets
black
blue
brown

I justified that black was ground(who knows this could all be my problem)
and brown was my low beam.
blue was the high

on the stock sockets I left the blue(high beam wires intacted).
and have the black, and brown ones from pass and drivers side rounted into one wire, which then leads into the cockpit.

now ran new wire for the 2nd installed set. and routed it into one set of wires as well.

however the 2nd set installed, the high beam is spliced into the high beam wire of the stock set on each side.

this leads to a switch. so you have you ground for your blue bulbs and low beam wires, and then you have your ground for your yellow and low beams.

I then cut the low beam wire near fire wall and routed that into cockpit to hook up to the switch

now on running lights you can change the colors, which I'm glade about, but when i put the signals on or hazards, they do not blink, however the backones do.


now i've had it where I had both colors installed and the high and low beams spliced into the opposite color on each side, and was planing on just having it so that I could just put the ground on a switch. well that didn't work because I guess having the high and low's spliced into each other, it still caused a ground so the low beams would run on all 4 bulbs, but when the signals was on.... only the blue for example, the one that was grounded, would flash.

now I dont see why this wouldnt' work, as Im' pretty good with circuts. relay burnt out maybe?

let me know

cheers

correct

here is what they look like, mounted



so basically trying to wire in another bulb socket set and put each one on a switch

im not sure on how much a typical 1157 light bulbs uses as far as amps, but the simplest way would be to get 2 DPDT switches from an electronics store, or a automotive store might even carry em,
i made a diagram to show how it would be done

basically what the switches do is connect either the blue bulb or the yellow bulb to the turn/park wires, so either the blue or the yellow bulb would be park/turn but not both at the same time
