Turn Side Lights Capacitor Sizing Formula
I have to be careful because the following is a description of a proposed capacitor charging cycle timing circuit. OBJECTIVE: Convert flashing turn signal to continuous signal for side illumination...

Just curious. Side lights would already be on after dark with headlights on. What benefit comes from turning the side lights on steady during the day time? Apparently I am missing something.
Think side/turn flood lights for illumination.
Be patient with me, it has been awhile since I've worked with SS relays. I remember the 'coil' having next to no load.
Would/could you parallel the coil with a resistor to pull down the voltage (bleed the capacitor) to de-energize the relay? If so, you could run a smaller cap and a higher ohm resistor, and adjust the resistor size to control the delay time until the light is shut off. Do you have any components now (a known capacitor size and a few resistors) to establish a baseline for what the SS relay load is?
The 88 ohm coil is confusing me; I looked at it as an 88 ohm load on the cap and my cap size was determined based on that...
