the problem with cutting the constant wire is that the blinkers blink with both filiments hot, so cutting the parking light out will make you blinkers dimmer.
its like in the brake lights, when they're normally on, they have the one filiment burning, but the second you tap the brakes, the second filiment comes on. Same thing as above if you were to change that.
one thing you can do to not change the brightness and still get rid of the parking light is to cut the constant wire, and then run a wire from the intermitant power (that gets power when you throw your blinker) to the other filiment that was on constant. That way, both filiments light up correctly :thumbup:
