Converting to separate, amber turn signals in rear

A lot of the turn signal / brake light stuff is handled by the turn signal & flasher switch assembly on the steering column

I’d just remove the existing wires from the break pedal switch and run a new wire feeding the brake light switch on the brake pedal and run it with a new wire back to the stock brake lights

Then move the turn signal wire from the current light to the new amber light

This would remove the turn signal from the brake light circuit totally



You in OZ or UK  or a place that requires amber signals ?

Depending on your local requirements for area size of the signal lenses , there are lots of thin LED lights than could be mounted on top of the bumper

Plenty of motorcycle turn signals etc

Finland. It is legal to have red turn signal on older vehicles if that's what it had from the factory but I want to change it because they are so poorly visible during sunny day. Luckily the signals I linked came in a pretty good 40% sale so I bought them!

I realize it's after the fact, but...

  LED Taillights

or
 
LED 1157 Red Bulbs

Both are very bright.

LED 1157 is AWESOME, got to have that on all my rides!

Thanks  BD!

I use the red LEDs on my Cherokee.  They are BRIGHT!  There is no mistaking when the brakes are applied or tails are on.

Just curious if any of you have ever installed a trailer wiring harness?   Now think about how that works 

If you’re tow rig has amber signals and red brake lights and the trailer has a dual Filament bulb to handle both
Then you gotta have a converter box on the tow vehicle

Helped my uncle do that a couple weeks ago when we were visiting
   He and his son in law had been messing with it all day and blown half the fuses in their tow vehicle before they called me

Sucked that the closest  auto parts store was a 45 minute drive each way
