Parking lights

I know the parking lights are supposed to go off with the headlights but I never liked that. So today I fixed it so they would come on with the headlights. It took about 10 minutes to do and I think it looks much better now. What do you guys think?

Yes, the parking lights work exactly as they did before but now they come on with the headlights too.

It was pretty easy to do. All you need to do is to run a jumper wire on the headlight switch from the tail light wire (brown wire) to the parking lamp wire (black/yellow). I used a '66 F100 wiring diagram to figure it out. I'm not sure if the colors are the same for 61-66, so you may want to look at a wiring diagram for the particular year truck you plan on doing this to.
