I thought about leaving a sliver of current blink, but for safety reason and because I'm not 100% happy with the way that looks, I'm trying this.
BTW, originally posted I'm keeping it a secret, but I figured if anyone else has thought of doing this at least they know it's being attempted and can wait and see if it works.

I tried something like that with my tails and could not get it to work.
The circuit inside the tails are looking for more than just 12V to make them work like the blinkers are.

How much do the LEDs require? Wait I misunderstood.... he wants the LED tails to blink bright like the brake while signaling, is that right?

Yes,
He (and I) want the brake lights to be the turn signals and brake lights. So we need the turn signals to flash the brake lights when the brakes are off and take away the brake signal away when the brakes are on to make them become the turn signals. The issue is I have not been able to light the brake lights with any basic external signal.

Sounds like you need an external module that will control the intermittent blinking, it's own fuse box ( that will allow more current for a brighter light) connnected to the battery and splice it to the brake light wiring. Talk to Kevin from KP tech. He helped me with my mod.
