    the correct way is to wire them to blink only with the turn signals. I have mine wired up to stay on with the corners and also blink with turn signals.

    lol, they're put there or in the mirror to warn people in the blindspot that the car is changing lanes, if they actually use their turn signal that is. If your head is back by the rear wheel of the car next to you they may not be able to see you in their mirror and you can't see their front or rear turn signal...thus the side marker and/or mirror turn signal was invented.

    The legend uses the same side markers as the Ek9 and the signal you tap into is only 2 wires but it stays on constant and blinks.
