If you wet sand the back side w/600 and then use led boards, on the indicator brightness, they are very much like daytime running lights, like on the newer corvettes. They come on as soon as you 'key on'. Then I just use relays to break the power to them, with the positive on/off of the blinker circuit.
You can turn the blinkers into DRLs with relays (it takes more than it seems to make it all work correctly) or with one of
these.

I just haven't found the led boards that I want to use yet as I want to fill up most of the lenses. I could make them but these big truck shops are constantly coming up with different led arrays all the time. Hope to have it done by this Spring.
Most of the front park/turn LED lamps are not sufficiently intense for a legal or effective daytime running light function. Also, there's a lot of junk on the market. The ones you want are
these. Making them yourself is a
lot harder to do and get right (i.e., safe and effective) than it seems. In the context of automotive lighting and signalling, "visibility" means way, way more than just "Do they light up real bright?". It is not impossible to make your own LED car lights and come up with something adequately safe for use in public-roadway traffic, but it is a great deal more difficult than most people realize. See threads
here and
here for two examples of homemade LED light projects with the right amount of thought, effort, understanding, and technique behind them to be probably safe. (even if you don't care a whit for the technical stuff, it's worth reading the linked threads; the amount of craftsmanship that went into the mods is a beautiful thing to see).
