Default Flush Mounts: Single or Dual Filament?

Hey folks ordering flush mounts for my front and rear signals from Lockhart Phillips. They give the option of single or dual filaments. Anyone know which one works best for the F3? Thanks!

If memory serves me correctly, the front signals act as running lights too. They would be dual filament ones. The rears are only turn signals, so single filament.

Do you have a link to the ones you are considering? I always like eye candy!

Question. If I install a single filament bulb turn signal on the front of my 96 f3, will it work only as a turn signal and not a running light. The PO wired up my rear turn signals to be running lights and I don't like it because the lights get really hot and start to deform the lenses. How do I correct the rear lights? Sorry for the thread jack.

either replace them or just cut the wire powering the running light element of the
current fixtures.

David, if youre unsure how to do wiring, dont mess with it. I'd be glad to give you a hand wiring it up correctly.

I like the idea of running lights in the front. I always feel like a one-eyed cage at night. Why not give the brain dead texters a little help.
