I had an interesting experience with making my lights wink. One of the

members of the local club had his '90 Mariner Blue doing this. I thought it

was very cool, so we set-up my car to do the same. Only thing is, I have a

'94 which includes the flass-to-pass feature. I don't know if I tried to make

it wink while flashing-to-pass or what, but I wound up burning out the relay

for the light motors. They went up, but wouldn't go back down. The relay that

died is about $120 or so...



I was hoping someone on the list might have some electrical expertese to help

design a circuit which would allow me to make my lights "wink" yet not damage

anything....but, the project sort of dropped by the wayside.



If anyone does come up with a solid way to do it, I'd love to know....I

really do want my lights to wink....   

Happy Motoring!    -ZACK
