They're hooked up so that when the foggies are on and i turn on the high beams...... the foggies turn off and the spotties come on.

Dont ask me how it was like it when i bought it officer :P

think im explaining it wrong. my guees yes i am lol. (feels like im talking no my gf). ill take out the parker light wires etc keep the blinker there, get a spot light and temper with it solder the wires onto where the parker wires once chilled then place the "new parker" in to the unit. wahla overly bright parkers. so basicly makeing a wah brighter parker.

um...ok....

You'd be cutting the black plastic of the pod to get one in. Then you'd have to seal it up again to stop moisture getting into the pod.

Or I spose you could stick the pod in the oven to melt the glue, pry the lens off, and place the spot inside the pod before reattaching.

Both ways sound like a hell of a lot of hassle, (and $ if you screw it up and have to buy a new pod) just for slightly brighter looking parkers.

You could just try a brighter/higer watage bulb?
