I'm wondering how difficult it would be to enable the pony lights to come on any time the lights are on instead of just when locking/unlocking the car?

 

you will have to re-wire them. Not that big a deal to do but those things get really hot. I would advise against it.

 

would cause them to burn up sooner and/or burn up surrounding parts

 

I would suggest a toggle switch. I thought this was a nice touch for car shows. Gets looks. I will soon be investing in pico projectors. Animated horses.

 

They get really hot ... I wouldn't leave them on very long .. they would burn out or melt.

 

That's a shame, people get a kick out of those pony lights & my kids would love it

 

Very cool! Tell us about them? I've never heard of this.

 

If you connect them to a constant 12v source they will shutdown themselves after 5-6 minutes. I think they have internal heat protection, so it's not worth trying the re-wire option.

 

sounds ricey.

 

Yeah, about as ricey as getting an exhaust that doesnt properly fit your car. Like the borla 11-12 on a 13-14.

 

that too, i suppose.

 

I have GT500s on my 3.7L, fits and looks great after a pro install. And you can make the 11-12 fit great on a 13-14, adjusting the mid pipe slightly, maybe a small cut if needed. You can make them proper.
I don't cook rice. I eat rice.

 

The pony lights turn on when you turn on the interior lights with wheel switch. You can just add a light switch on the dome light by wiring the switch across the ground wire. The gauges will be very bright though.
