Yes if that is the way you wire them. I chose not to have them on with the lights. Just wanted the turn signals

How would I wire them differently?

Tie the yellow wires to the smallest wire on your turn signal (each side). Then just tape off the red wire. That is the way I did my 24 hybrid lariat.

This is a great video for the wiring.

How would I wire if I wanted both parking and turn signal ??

Tie the yellow wires to the turn signal lamps to the small wire each side. Put the black wire to ground. I would put the red wire on the side marker lights rather than on the headlamp, but that’s my personal preference.

I wired mine up so they are always on when the truck is running and blink with the turn signal. I hate the Zebra center and ordered black carbon fiber to cover it it.

I was going to tint the amber so that it was not as bright but after a month I decided NO..

Here is why...they do a great job of lighting up the sides of the road, guardrails and cars and trucks next to you. I like it! I also noticed another thing!!!! I no longer have those drivers that always want to pass you and then get alongside and drive with you for a mile or two! Not anymore! The side markers annoy them and I haven't had this happen since I installed them. I also notice drivers tend to back off from stopping directly alongside my truck and hang back a little or pull forward...like that also.

How do I wire these lights so I have always on when truck running and turn signal ? The passenger side is always on but not driver side??

Where did you get the carbon fiber cover?

I installed a fuse tap ("add a fuse tap") and used the drivers side engine bay fuse box to find a fuse that had power when the ignition was hot (I think it was a 10 amp fuse on the left side (pass) of the box. I used a 10 amp fuse and I use it to power my hood led strip, fog lights backlight trigger, and a few other accessories that I installed.

So I used that power connection to splice to the red wires of the Mabett side markers so they light up whenever the truck starts and runs. For the turn signals I tapped directly into the turn signal wires near the bulb sockets. In my Lariat the drivers side used the smaller outer yellow/green wire and the pass side used the outer smaller blue/white wire. My front turn signal bulb wiring only uses two wires (center wire is plugged) and the larger wire on my bulbs was the ground. Ground your Mabett lights where ever you see fit.
