The side marker light stays where it is. The LEDs that are next to the reverse light are swapped into the new rings. The blinker bulb still stays at the center of the outer ring. The only thing youre moving is the 12 LEDs

On mine I think Im gonna wire in another blinker into the center of the bigger LED ring so both blink when the signals are on.

 

I'd definitely be interested, but in for installed pics first.

 

These should be offered with and without the extra leds, some ppl will prolly want to keep the inner leds where they are.

However, I guess you would once again run with the problem of the aftermarket leds not matching the oem ones... unless the only reason the other dual ring tails dont match is caused by the absence of this machined ring (with the recessed reflectors) you created.

 

That looks great!

Any way to wire the blinker(s) to the LEDs (i.e not use anything in the center) themselves?

 

Yes, consult an electrical engineer (yeah that nerd in HS) and talk to him about making you a circuit, should cost about $13.

I envision all 4 rings light up when braking and are dim during cruising with lights on. Then 2 right rings blink for right signal, and vice versa. Similar to a vette with LED's .

 

Im no wiring expert but if you run another set of LEDs I believe its gonna make them all weaker since youre drawing more current to run 3 sets instead of 2.

As far as making the LEDs work as blinkers also Im sure you could do that too, but Im no wiring expert so I dont know what youd have to add to the wiring.

More LEDs are up to you guys. Theyre cheap.

As far as instructions I may write some up once I start mine(have to pick up a dremel cutting arbor tonight) but its basically cutting out the hole and getting it to the correct size for my insert to fig snug and then bonding it in. No real instructions other than that for the bezel part. Its just opening the tail, popping the chrome shround out, modifying it, and rewiring, and sealing the light back up.

 

hmmm interesting..

 

If wiring in a parallel circuit, the brightness shouldn't be effected much at all. Probably not noticeable.

 

^+1
LED's draw (amperage) is so minimal that you can have a thousand or more (running parallel) and still be able to charge your phone on the same circuit.

Running parallel is the key.

 

SO what exactly would need to be added to have the LEDs also serve as the blinkers?

 

They could just be wired to the turn signal circuit, however they would only light with the turn signal. For dual or multiple functionality, some other customizations need to be done, relays and probably more.

 

I can match the LEDs perfectly everytime using the exact factory LEDs

 

^^ yep, you would have to wire it into a constant 12V, then form the heirarchy of the circuit, beginning with the most rare and going to the most common.

Have the brake signal and turn signal be separate circuits, when turn signal is blinking, follow turn signal, if no turn signal then brake? If yes, then apply voltage, if not, no voltage. If lights are on, apply lower voltage, etc...

It could be done really cheap for someone who knows what they are doing. I might be able to, but im not sure thats something i need on my plate right now.

Someone can figure this out.

 

You can have multiple power sources all protected by a diode.

 

Above is the basic code one would need to put into a processor/circuit. Simple Pbasic could be used for this code (hell use C or C++).. it's only if statements running on a loop or a do while loop.
