possible to turn off corner (signal) lights...
ok, so I am new here, but have been on many of times... i've drivin around and have seen other rangers driving with their corners off while driving, is it possible to re-wire, or pull a fuse somewhere to get them off while driving, but still use to signal, and still have the dash loights and tail lights on? thx guys

Why on earth would you want to drive around without tail lights? I wouldn't tell you how just because it is really bad idea. Perhaps you do have a decent reason but in the absense of a good explanation, I can't help you or encourage anyone else to do so. It would be like if you asked how to disable the brakes or make the steering wheel not work.

ok he is really saying this... when he turns on his headlights and tailights the corners also come on. He wants to make it so the corners dont come on when he turns on his heads and tails but he wants the corners to still work as a blinker. its easy to understand people come on. just i dont know how to do it.

This mod is almost certainly illegal and I don't recommend it for a street driven vehicle. I can't see why it would be desirable but it would not be difficult to do.
Unlike later models, the front corners on a 95 are dual filament bulbs. The brown wire to each is for the parking/running lights. There is also a black ground wire plus another color for the turn signals on either side. Interrupting the brown wires to the front corners should turn off the front parking/running lights without affecting the turn signals.
This would not affect the function of the DRL's at all because the DRL module supplies pulsed voltage to the headlights only, not the running lights.

Haha, well then now it makes sense! You an probably understand where I was coming from then. If I say "corner strobes" or "corners", it is usually refering to all for corners. When it's only the front or back, I'm used to specifying front corners or rear corners. I guess I over-anylized this post.
You could be really slick and use a relay to turn the front corner lights off when the strobes come on.
