Just completely re-guritating the  dash harness for our 66 so I think I remember the wire colors without making  trip to the shop.

Jump the black/Yel stripe wire, the 16ga from the headlight switch (front park lites) to the  brown wire (rear tail lights) and the front parks will then be on with the tail lights.  The lt. Green/white and white/blue wires run from the turn switch to the front turn filiment and will still work independently of  the park/running lights.

I'm personally not a fan of this mod as I feel the front turns are more visable  when they come from nowhere instaead of just make an already bright lens brighter.  This is my main snivel with the new cars.  The turns are just a brightening of an illuminated amber lens right next to a bright headlight.  I  can't tell if they are working until the damned car is  right on top of me.

Good info McStang.  Thanks...may just try that rather than the  mod I had planned to add  a second 1157 to the tail housing.

Pretty sure these babies are easily brighter than two 1157s. I had clean reflectors with the original bulbs and put these LEDs in, had the wife step on the pedal in the garage and had to squint a little like Clint Eastwood does in all those old movies. Reversed positions (hmm) and she said 'Oh yeah, hurts my eyes'.

There is a metal bracket connected to the fresh air vent on the drivers side. Towards the front.

I wonder if the LED back-up lights actually throw some light out the rear.  The stock ones might be good for letting someone behind you know that you are backing up, but as the driver, they throw no light on anything in your rear.

I didn't think 65's had the flashers?!
Didn't it start in 66?!

Gotta have the flasher for  the turn signals, Sal.  The four-way emergency flashers started in 66 and use a separate flasher unit which  mounts under the glove  box.

See ya soonly, Mike.

HA!!!
I thought he meant "emergency" flasher when he made the post! Duhhhhh!
 

The instructions here are correct. The secret is to do it at the headlight switch and simply jump the taillight feed to the parking light terminal. This makes the front partking lights go on with the tail lights, which is essentially what you want to do.
