If you already have the V6 cable from your pre-LCI.
Just little modify as add two more diodes in between brake and Fog.
Remove the brake light bulb and tail light bulb will have Ricky's brake effect.

Hi, If your rim in LCI and don't want any cutting or splicing OEM wiring.
Just two resistors; two diodes, one female socket and one male connector,
Remove the brake and tail light bulbs will make it work.

Thanks for the wiring diagrams. I would have to figure out how to patch these resistors in. I'll look into it.

What do you mean you only need the LCI taillights? You'll still need the converting cable either from Hella or Bruce.
