It's a little reminiscent, a throw back even, of the old legendary Toyota Corolla.Note the amber turn signals in this one. He must have the JDM ones.
The pic above gives you a guideline... but there will be no need for the little sliver of existing blinker... If I could photoshop I'd show you... can someone that understands the concept photoshop this please?...

Really?!? All the other modules of his I have required wiring (window, VDC, shift light and mifrror tilt). It was easy but it didn't use the oem plugs so you had to splice in the wires. That was what I meant when I said minor wiring needed.

You’re right - there probably is minor wiring... But based on what the other shops I've been dealing with are trying to do, this will be much cleaner and more efficient. If it all woks out that is... I guess it's not a done deal 'till we know everything works...Originally Posted by ttrank

We don't do 'plug and play' as it isn't value added. Our modules would double (maybe triple) in price if we included plug and play options.
I started working on the firmware a bit today and will hopefully have something done by tomorrow and tested in my G35.

this is basically the same mod as the front side marker blinking procedure. anyone can do it. kp technology not required.
tools required - 10mm socket wrench, electrical tape, flat head screw driver, wire striper and cutter.
1-remove the tail light
2-cut the power wire of turn signal
3-cut the ground wire of stop(two circle) lamps.
4-connect the ground wire connected to the lights(two circle) to the power line going to turn signal bulb.
5-so the turn signal bulb will have an open power line and the (two circle) ground wire connected to the harness/chassis will be open. electrical tape all.
6-put your lights back. wallah - fx style.

Gotta vid of this in action? Not a DIY, a vid of the tails blinking... if so, you are the ONLY one that has been able to make it work.Originally Posted by sunghochang77

I'm in. I like this idea. Are we thinking of just having the outer ring blink, or both rings? I dont know if its possible, but just having the outer ring blink would be hot!

my car is an 04... For now it’s being tested for all horizontal rows to blink. Initially I wanted sequential... one thing at a time I guess (unless Kevin feels real motivated?!!!Originally Posted by mitchelm

)Edit: Oooops I called Kevin Kyle preiously, sorry...
I'd put my 03-04 tails back on if he could get them to blink from inside to out... Kinda like half the the knight rider light 
Just going from in to out...
like
Parking lights = ....
First turn on blinker ....
Then ....
Then ....
Finally ....
Or like mitchelm said for the 05-06 tails to just have the outer ring blink with the inner ring doing it's usual.

Not quite there buddy.
Go try it and let me know how that works out for you. The tails are not a simple 12V signal like the fronts are...

That’s what I meant by "sequential" in my post above yours... I think it's a lofty goal but would be soooo sweeet!!!! Kevin?... As long as your working on it – possible?....Originally Posted by nathanjax

I'm not really sure what is going on here. I've never seen sedan tail lights, so I'm not sure exactly how they work. In the picture it looks like there are only two circles per side. What are we trying to sequence?
With the way it is wired now you really only have three options, since we are effectively eliminating the turn signals:
1. parking light on
2. brake light on
3. parking light and brake light on
Anything more advanced would require modifying the internals of the tail lights.

lets just work on getting them to blink first
for reference, the triangular area above the horizontal LEDs will be body color... so the entire lense will be horizontal rectangle... the paint line will follow the line coming off the back up lense on the trunk...
CAN SOMEONE PHOTO SHOP THIS PIC TO SHOW WHAT IM DESCRIBING> PLEASE!
