did you read through the thread? my brake lights are working fine. both circle and square leds lit up when press on brake. the only modification i did was when parking light is turn on only the circle lits up. hope this help you understand
ill post some pictures of this when i get a friend to help me step on the brake and ill try to host a video of it.

heres a vid of what i did so far,only a vid of one side. i think it looks cool but i dont know if the square lights is doin it for me. im working on having the outter circle(signal light) turn on while braking yet still works when signaling. i think that would look pretty, even better if its led.

^^ it only delay when i use the turn signal, if signal is not on then both light turns on at the same time.
thanx for the compliment, btw it looks alot nicer in person even though its not all leds. if anyone want to do this i can do a write-up

Yep your right, might still delay even with LEDs. Now you have to change the whole thing.

i would love to do led like the one top secret has but we all know how much work it involves. plus i wouldnt even dare to open up our tail light cause its cemented on rather than silicone. if anyone even have any idea how to to retro leds in there pls pls let me know. ive been doing some seachings on hidplanet but nothing promising.
