Front Park Lights and Signal Lights swap/switch rewire

I'm new to the modding scene. I'm mostly doing simple installs and just get someone else to do the bigger stuff. But this project I have in mind (after seeing Siphon's Winter Issue) of switching the park lights and the signal light has been bothering me. I want to see it done and I think it *may* look cool. Any advice on how that can be done? Any DIYs you know that this switch has been done with already?

Any help is much appreciated.

so you want 4w wedge bulb turn signals no one can see and constant on 21w parking lights in that tiny housing to overheat and turn the lense brown?

easy to swap wires, but terrible idea.

I'm not so sure about the reflector housing turning brown because those lights are swapped overseas. But I guess you could just change to a different bulb that doesn't emit as much heat.

Thank you!

I'm thinking LED bulbs would be my answer.

Youre going to have rapid flash when you use the signals, unless you add a resistor.
And people will barely notice your turning.
