When I owned the Civic Si (collective groan from the list), I found an 
artical on the net concerning Bright corners. Apparently, these guys 
wanted their corner lights (driving) to be as bright as when the blinker 
is ON. Well, they usually would just turn the bulb around so the Bright 
was the driving light and the DIM was the Blinker- HOW STUPID! Anyway, 
this one guy didn't want to loose his blinkers and cane up with a cool 
little one day project.  He wanted the corners to be bright, then just 
TURN OFF and ON to blink. Some local shops said that they'd do it for 
$350, but in the end, he found an adaptor at a parts store for a 
trailer. If I can find the artical, Ill get the part # he specified. All 
it does is makse those dual filiment trailer lights do the  BRAKE, 
DRIVING LIGHT, AND BLINKER. you will only need the driving light and 
blinker leads. Instead of hooking them from your lights to the trailer, 
wire it from the cars leads to your blinkers. I think it'll be obvious 
once you have the adapter in your hand. 

It would prolly look really cool- bright corners on a Scirocco!
