LED taillight turn signals, DEPO

I did this mod a while ago and really love it!

If you have or might buy DEPO LED taillights, read this DIY:

Another outstanding writeup! Do you think it is possible to configure it so that both fog lights light up when you pull back the light knob, rather than one? I don't have the LED lights and don't plan on turning the fog lights to turn signals, but would love a weapon for those damn tailgaters!

Hmm...Its surely possible. In just thinking about it, i have an answer--If you tap into the positive (powered) wire on the Fog light that works, run the wire under the carpet to the other side, and attach it to the fog light that doesnt work...then ground, you have two fog lights.

Figured so! I think this would prove invaluable to all owners that need to escape that rare tailgater that lays just inches away from your bumper!

Question How do I wire DEPO light

This is a great DIY.

I have another scenario.

How about wiring as a outer break light instead of a turn signal?

I'm also interested in finding a amber LED bulb for the turn signal.

Nice write up, but I wish you'd used an easier to read font. Thanks.

Hi where you able to find LED signal bulbs that do not produce error message? I guess its the 1156 bulb.

I thought thats what the AOS/smoke valve was for, to produce a nice thick smoke cloud to loose your pursuers. Especially effective going into sharp turns
