Diode Dynamics SS2 As brake / reverse light

Has anyone wired a pair of ss2 pods with red backlighting as a reverse / brake light? It should be possible as the pod uses a 3 stage switch. Anyone try this?

 

"3" stage means either/or, so no Stop & Reverse at same time illumination.

 

I just realized it would be either or while the brake light itself will run both at the same time

 

If you're looking to run the back light dimmer as a running light and then when your brakes are applied it's brighter I'm not sure its going to work. You may be able to email Diode Dynamics to see if a dimmer module would work to dim the backlights. Theoretically I think it would work, but the unknown is the built in circuitry and if it would allow for a lower voltage input to allow it to dim. Seeing as they are designed for a minimum of 9v it would probably not turn on under that voltage. Also they should be the brightness from 9-16v because they don't rely on voltage for output like a halogen does.

 

I talked to the folks there and they said it should work! I just need to tie in the respective power wire to the actual lights and it should work!

 

Im excited to see how it turns out! Make sure to share some pictures.

 

I have to start the bumper next school year but I will be updating!
