Default alternataing turn signal and side marker flashing?

I see cherokees of all kinds of years with this function. where it alternates flashing between the turn signal and the side marker. I love it, especially since around here high visibility is a must. so my question is, what packages and years had it? how can I get it?

It's easy to do. I've done it with the help of a write-up. Can't remember if it was factory in 89 or 90. Also can't find the link. Thought I saved it. I printed it out years ago...

My 90 Comanche does it, too.

Here's the closest thing I could find on the 10 minute mod.

Gotta scroll down to find it and it's not real comprehensive but understandable.

Nah they definitely don't all do that. Mine didn't do that until I put in these turn signal bulbs right now:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1157-Switchb...#ht_2342wt_938

It was the weirdest thing. I bought em just because I love the LED look and the idea of it switching from white to an amber color when putting on a turn signal/emergency lights really appealed to me. So the bulb switches colors like it should but now all of a sudden it also does the switching of turn signals/side markers, which it has never done before. Didn't know that was going to happen but I'm stoked I got that perk with it.

Maybe somebody can explain why this bulb does that? This could be something to look into

Also, the Kevin's Off Road site has this mod & a bunch of others. Did it on my 88 xj, works great!
