Why not just tap the trigger wire for the turn signal with the eyebrow wire?

If the eye brow is ON and you put your turn ON won't you have no flashing at all. Because the EXOR will sense the OFF cycles of the Turn as no Turn and flip it back to the eye brow. Or am I missing something in the way you intend to work this.
How is your EXOR going to see the start and end (first ON to last OFF) of a Turn cycle to suppress the eye brow normal lights?

QUICK!
Are our headlight blinkers always on?
or
do they only blink when we apply the turn signal?

I've tested a few circuits w/LEDS on a test board but I'll have to wait for my Euro Headlights to confirm I get no warning messages...
Image below is with the "turn signals" ON
Image below is with the "turn signals" OFF
Put them together, and you have a blinking eyebrow mod. I'll post the details once I have confirmed everything on my end along with a schematic, components and hookups...
I also have a "scanning eye brow turn signal mod"... hehe... it's possible but i need to get more components and my headlights

Update: We can use a NOR gate circuit but the dc power supply of a car is not a clean 12VDC power supply.
The image below is the NOR gate circuit using a few resistors and a 3904 transistor.
The nor gate circuit doesn't work as expected and you would have to add a DC filter or a DC voltage stabilizer circuit to this NOR gate circuit when using the power from your generator.
Using a 12VDC relay is much easier but then we are adding the clicking sound of a relay!
Meanwhile, if someone comes up with a simple way to stabilize the dc power and makes it possible to use the nor logic vs relay... please update...
