turn/brake light conversion kit
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2011 12:59 pm
Feel like tinkering?
I made my own "kit" using red LED lights found at the local auto parts
store.
Run the LED (+) wires back through the signal stalks and connect into the
tag light wire.
This is the nifty part: Connect the LED (-) wire to the turn signal's (+)
wire.
Yes, ground the LED to the positive wire.
Here's what happens: signal off? The LED is illuminated
by the hot wire from the tag and grounded through the turn signal. The
signal bulb remains off.
Signal on? The LED loses it's ground every time the signal blinks and the
signal works normally.
I put two LEDs per signal assembly for about $10 total. The LEDs I got had
the step-down resistors
wired inline right near the LEDs themselves. All I had to do was shorten
the wire leads as needed
while keeping the resistors intact.

Looks interesting; it converts your rear turn signals to running lights (amber) and additional brake lights (red) using LED's that install into your existing turn signal housings.> > I searched and didn't find this discussed before. Has anyone bought this?
