Hello - so I just finished getting the afterburner tail lights installed and have some wiring questions. As of now the afterburner halos are on all the time (which I like) however, I want to wire up the actual brake light to only be on while braking. How do I wire this up? Any insight would be appreciated! Thank you! Name: 9A6CE704-A058-4675-A8E6-56722793959F.jpg

Do you only want the afterburners to light up with the brake lights or did I miss something?

No, I want the afterburners to be always on. I only want the original brake light bulbs to be on during braking. As of now, the original bulbs are always on and then light up brighter during braking.

You're saying you want the afterburner lights to stay on when you have your lights off lol.

Run them to a continuous source of power.

That you'll have to figure out on your own. There's an easily accessible fuse box back there.

I think I get it. You want the afterburners on all the time and to act as your tail lights with no other tail lighting, until you hit the brakes, at which point the main bulbs come on.

Yeha, no idea how to do that. I'm also not sure that it would be legal to have only the Afterburners acting as your tail lights at night time. Not sure if the Afterburners would be bright enough on their own since they are not using any of the internal concave reflector like the main bulbs do.

I saw this somewhere not to long ago. I will see if I can find it again. However as already mentioned you may want to check the specs in your area to see if it would suffice.

Not too worried about it being legal or not to be honest. If I get a ticket I can deal with reworking it to be legal.
