Here you go... The brighter you want your running lights the more LED resistors... I have three per side with 40 lights per side

Thank you for the diagram. Do i not have to worry about current from the running lights making its way back to the blinker filaments though?

It will make it back to the filament but enough to notice... The only thing is on mine the blinker lights on the inside stay on but again when they get current from the flasher they are much brighter

Thank you so much for the help. I have just a limited knowledge of electricity so this is very helpful.
