But the MJA project is for OEM LCI, and not the replica. Please correct me if I am wrong, I don't want to confuse other members.

These lights allow you to remove each bulb on their own.
So I have another suggestion if you want to do a quick mod without buying those stupid cables that Bruce guy sells.
1. Bypass only one Brake resistor.
2. Move the bulb that you have just bypassed into the fog light position.
3. Connect up in parallel the LED rods to this Brake bulb. But remember to take out the exisiting Green connection as that is paralleled up to the fog from the factory.
4. Just secure the old fog holder and bulb somewhere behind the light so that it can't be seen.
5. Remove the other brake bulb holder from the light and again secure it somewhere behind the light so that the bulb cannot be seen.
Voila you have the Ricky Brake effect, with a nice Bright Brake light where the fog light used to be and you dont have any brakes behind the LED rods, plus when you Brake you get nice bright LED rods which can be seen even when you brake.
Ofcourse if you want brighter LED rods when driving, and you want the Brakes and fog etc to work like the OEM LCI, you may want to consider buying those cables I spoke about earlier. I've spoken to Bruce and he has 3 sets ready

I removed the brake bulb and connect with resistor to fool the computer. Therefore, no brake bulb lighting and no error code.
