    Yeah a lot of ways to go about combining signals. I think my harness will be the easiest, as you have to remove the tail lights anyway to install the LED bulbs, so an extra 30seconds to plug in the T harness isn't bad.

    No flack, just help. It's not available, on all these posts you normally can go to the first page and it explains most everything you need to know. Think this post is rare in that Meso posted it a few pages back because it was a general conversation and he came up with this idea. Most of ME-SO stuff is like gold, it's rare and hard to get, but persistence pays off.

    Yes, the thread started as using both brake lights as turn signals... then I put my own twist on it with a double brake, switchback at bottom. When everything is ready I will start a new, dedicated thread to avoid confusion.
    @Mcknight30 not yet. I’m hoping to have All the harness assembled, switchback bulbs(installed with their respective adapters)etc, etc dome by the end of the month.

    I’m using black wires for everything so it looks clean and OEM

    Really interested how this will turn out.
    Don't like the brake lights on these.
    Been looking at aftermarket led brake lights but quality might be an issue and others look too cheesy.

    Moving right along guys! I should have the alpha test harnesses wrapped up by next week, then final testing. (fitment, circuits, length, etc)

    STAGE 1: 100 % PLUG AND PLAY
    Full "C" Brake light, Switchback+locking adapter, configurable quick release resistor
    [​IMG]


    STAGE 2: Same harness as Stage 1 above ^ (so everything will plug in the same ) But reverse hole will need to be enlarged with a step drill bit.
    Full "C" Brake light, with Switchback(SUPER BRIGHT) and Tritton adapter

    Somehow, hitting the “Like” button don’t do this justice. Looking forward to drop and hoping I can get my hands on it.
