    Quick tip: to make front marker lights stay on with the headlights, run this jumper between tail lights and front marker lights...The black wire between the top 2 left terminals....

    Won't this also make the headlights come on when you just want the marker lights on?

    Correct !

    But why ? :confused: .

    I prefer my front marker lights to go off when the headlamps are lit .

    If you really want the front markers to remain lit , just connect them to the taillight terminal......

    Some people are a little freaked out that they go out, too used to modern stuff I guess.

    No the headlights won't come on.

    Sorry, I mis-read (actually I hardly read) your first post Russ. I thought the jumper was between the headlights and the marker lights. As you say, the jumper is between the tail lights and the marker lights.
