although the actual blinker may not be able to house the bulb holder if they are different sizes.
edit: never mind what i wrote, they keep the same bulb holders. stupid me

I believe Spoon-Accord has done this on his accord.
Either PM him and ask him how he did it, or wait for him to come in here and comment.

taadaaa... jimmy got me here..
hey guys.. i did this to my accord
thing is
when i switch the bumper indicators to a mini wedge globe. it blinks very quick now..
but when i chucked the hazardz on.. its normal.. blinks slow..
its easy.. just cut the wires for the indicators and wire up to the bumper ones. and VICE VERSA
if anyone in melbourne need help with this.. i am more than gladly to help..
JUST PM ME!!
Cheers guys

i have done the america signal light conversion b4 just have to tap a wire to the park light and get urself a dual filament bulb housing (used the brake light bulb house cause it got the same slot grooves as signal one)
when u turn on the park lights the parkers and blinker light up, and the blinker will still operate normal because when the park light is on the blinker lights only the 5w filament and when the blinker is operating, the 21w filament lights up hence it doesnt mess up the blinker relay resistance so it blink at the normal rate

because the blinkers r still 21w resistance is not altered so the the indicators blinks normal.... dont have change or add anything

My tun signal will be 5w bulb instead 21w
and the 21w will be the parkers..
will that affect the blink rating? i know urs is 21w turn signals.
