Question Turn signals / parking lights

Has anyone come up with a way to use the turn signals for the parking lights ? Like we used to do on the old cars , We always called them our cool lights . I know that is what they are using the Halo's for now but I would like to use the turn signals and the halos at the same time. Any help would be great.
And what about having the fog lamps and the headlights on at the same time.
Where is the wiring whizz's on the board ???

I just got to thinking, what if you make them 'inverted turn signals'. As in, the bulbs are always on, but when you use the turn signal, they blink off... In my 6, I added some lights to the lower bumper in some reflectors. Wired in positive from the brake lights into one lead and the positive from the turn signals into the other one giving the car extra brake lights that do inverted turns if I'm on the brake or regular turns if I'm not braking. What if you replaced the - line from the turns with a + from a running light? I don't have my car yet, or I'd try this...

Quick question? My parking lights do not come on when the headlights are on? Is this normal or should they be on. Mine is a 2SS/RS

RS equals Halos as parking lights.

To OP, you may be able to order housings and bulb harness from a non RS car and then just wire the extra lead from the light to the halos. Not positive if the housings are interchangeable though

That should work, only thing is they will be quite bright, turn signal / running light bulbs have 2 filaments, one dim for running the other bright for turns.
