OK, the issue is that on the Accent, it's a single filament front turn signal. It doesn't light up at all at night, except for the turn signal. So there is only one function on it, compared to two functions, which a dual bulb could replace. You'd need to swap the socket as well as run wiring from parking lights to that socket. If you are interested in doing all that, let me know.

dude, that's exactly what I said earlier.



Yes, Paul runs Diode Dynamics. He's on the forums here, too.



You'll need to tap into the headlight OR side marker light, whatever comes on when you turn your headlights on. Grabbing the power from that and running it to the constant power on the turn signal will work.

as cheap as they are, I'd get both. Yes, those wire taps will work for pulling power from the side marker or headlights.

right. You'll have to wait to receive them and try to find a way to make them fit and stay in the housing.
