I have probably wired this thing wrong, but when I turn on the front blinkers on my tr3 with the head lights on I can not see the light blinking very well.
[/ QUOTE ]As already noted, you likely have the two power leads reversed. The side lamp filament is the "more prominent" of the two, and the flasher filament the "more recessed." [ QUOTE ]
It would be nice if the running lights went off when the head come on.
[/ QUOTE ]I've long preferred this arrangement, which of course all cars now have, where side (running) lights remain on when headlamps are on. At worst, it "marks" that side of the car at night if a headlamp fails.
