Convert to run/turn: Road Star Tail light Conversion Procedure 11 Months ago  
This thread discusses the Content article: Convert to run/turn: Road Star Tail light Conversion Procedure

I have a 99 RS and decided it was time to convert my turn signals to running light /turn signals using Mr. Tidy's instructions. My problem is that when using either turn signal the tail light and other turn signal dim some as well.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I think what he is describing is a use of 1157 bulb in the rear like the front turn signal...

rather than the 1156 bulb that Kury makes do double duty...

I would say some dimming of the running lights and tail light while the signal lights both front and rear are drawing may be normal depending on how much load is on the entire charging system headlight passing lamps etc..

A voltmeter would tell if the entire system is being taxed...
