Anyone use DEPO Taillights?

Wow these LEDs are way bright. I had the parking light on around dusk, still plenty of daylight, and you could see it bright as heck a block and a half away. Excellent for distracted drivers who get too close to parked cars. And lately I have become paranoid about parking to close to the curb, i will often park around the corner but sometimes its unavoidable. This mod gets six cylinders on the bang for buck scale.

Have the smoked DEPO LED taillghts. I did a bit of re-wiring so the inboard and outboard LEDs function as brake lights. No issues with fitment or function.

How did you wire it? I would like to do the same thing. Thanks.

I did it last summer, but recall it involved cutting the + and - wires from the parking light, splicing-in extensions to each of those wires, and then splicing into the + and - from the brake lights. There is not much room to work with inside each light fixture. Hope this helps.

That sounds simple enough, thanks!

So I tapped into the brake leads and then tapped into the outside LED/parking LED. It works, but not all the time. Sometimes, the first press of the brakes results in only the original brake LED's coming on. The second press results in both the inside and outside LED' illuminating. Does yours do this?
