I've decided that I want to rewire my tail lights so that when I signal, insteal of that little bulb flashing, I want me brake light to flash, just like the FX. Anyone know if this is possible? I took it to a aftermarket shop whre they do a lot of electronics installations and they were not sure how to do it. I thought it was a fairly easy thing to do. Any ideas?

 

definitely post up a DIY if you get it to work.

 

If I get it to work, I'll let you know but I don't think it will be a DIY because I won't be attempting the work. I definitely want to pay someone to do it - don't want to mess around with it myself and screw something up.

 

Not sure how to wire it, but you will need a relay or something to that effect, your issue is when your headlights are on you'll need a relay to turn off the right or left brake light and switch into a signaling mode. Sorry i can't be of more help, but start thinking resistors, and relays.

 

Are those light bulbs single or dual filament? Anyone know offhand?

 

that is interesting

 

Do you mean the tail lights? They are dual - low when the head lights are on and high when the brake pedal is pressed.
I don't know about you guys, but I was never a big fan of how they did the turn signals on our car.

 

Wrong. LED's do not have filaments. So no, they are not dual filaments. They consume a certain amount of power while the lowbeams are on, and when the brakes are pressed, they require more power, and thus emit a brighter light. Our signaling bulbs are single filament. They can only flash, and not steadily stay ignited.

On another note, good luck with this project, I dont think its going to be easy at all.
