Front Sidemarker Flasher Module Options

[Spoke]

There has been some interest in a module that would flash the front sidemarker with the turnsignal. The rear running/brake/turnsignal board I did for the 356 using the front turnsignal bucket from a 914 uses the same function to flash the running or brake light when the turnsignal comes on.

The flashing circuit was lifted from the 356 board and placed on this board with some modification. The board will be about 1.6in x 1in and will be enclosed in a small plastic box. The module will replace the wires which go from the front trunk into the rubber wire channel to the sidemarker and turnsignal.

Basically the wires to the turnsignal and sidemarker will be pulled out of the rubber channel and connected to the module. The module will have wires that will be fished into the rubber channel and connected to the sidemarker and turnsignal just like the OEM wiring. The OEM wiring will remain intact keeping with my goal of no cutting/screwing/gluing plug-and-play installation.

@Spoke -- I love the idea, but have a question about the installation. Instead of installing two modules, one at each front corner, what about making a single module that goes under the dash and connects to the switch end(s) of the wiring harness? This seems like it would be a simpler install, since you wouldn't need to pull the wires out of the fenders and rubber conduits/boots, and you could control both sidemarker lights from one box. Basically, it would be putting the new controls at the other end of the wires, instead of at the light-bulb end.
