thanks...that's what I meant on my question if I will need the cables as well.

 

If you do it the way via Ricky's method, my understanding is no.

 

I have seen these in person and they look great, Quality work!

 

Oh you have? lol, did you see me on the street?

 

So just adding these two diodes, will make the rods brighter when braking too? Thanks

 

Just to clarify, since there seems to be a misunderstanding about this.

Ricky's method actually dims the rods during normal operation, bring down the power current to 3.6v; when braking, the rods will be lit at 12v -- its normal brightness.

So in effect, it's actually not brighter than it already is, before modding.

 

Sorry for any mis-lead before, these two diode just change the brake light position to Fog only. About the rods brighter level which was guided by Bruce, better consult him.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

So during the day (when the lights are off), when I brake, will the rods and fogs come on? or just the fogs?
Thanks

 

Okay, I guess this will start to confuse members a little more, lol.

For the pre-lci's, I offer two levels of modding for this. One is converting the brake light to be the circle, and have rods always on. Note that this is for when your low beams are on, or set to parking light, as it's the only time the taillights are on anyway. The addendum to this mod is to wire the car so that the taillights (rods, side leds) are always on with ignition. So you no longer have to switch to parking light to turn on the rods. Similarily, I offer wiring the AE's to be this way as well, so you can always have the light control set to AUTO.

Now for LCI, it's a whole lot easier since it's already built-into the car. The rods are lit if you have DRL enabled, without the need to be on parking light.

To answer your question, if you only mod it via the diode diagram above with the light switched off, your rods will not light, just the circle part.

 

This is the exact mod im looking for. Will send you PM when Im ready. Thanks
