Hey guys, super sorry it took this long. Life happened.
I was going to do a DIY video on it, but that will have to wait until spring, as the car is in storage. The basic premise is that you have to use the relays to determine where the power is coming from. You use the relays to establish the following logic: If Headlights are off and not signalling, power comes from signal (which will also be off) If Headlights are off and signalling, power comes from signal If Headlights are ON and not signalling, power comes from boomerang If Headlights are ON and Signalling, Power comes from signal, for as long as signal is sending power. The relays basically say if power isn't coming from X, than take it from Y. but you need two because you have two power sources, and two different states (headlights on or off). I'll get my electrician friend to draw up a wiring diagram.

Hey guys, just a thought.
If you want the rear parking lights (the ones on the side of the tail lamps) to do the same thing, you can just wire them into the rear signal wires. I haven't done it, the idea came to mind when I was swapping out my OEM tails for JDM tails. If anyone tries it out, post a video! |

. Personally I like how they blink in sync with the turn signals in the head/tail lights. Alternating just looks tacky to me. Where are you guys buying your OEM JDM side markers? Do you have to get amber bulbs (I assume the stock USDM bulbs are clear?)? |

Found my answer here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119784. treminaor's method will make your side markers function like the real deal (JDM).

Can anyone recommend a pair of amber LEDs (plug & play, no hyper flash)?

there is no PnP LEDs that won't hyper flash, you need to either modify the stock module, or purchase one. but DD has great LEDs and the also have a cheaper (price) version of the tapturn module.

Excuse my ignorance, when you say "stock module" what exactly are you referring to? How do I modify or purchase that?

Stock flasher relay. There is a write up about how someone desoldered, and resoldered in a thicker gauge wire into the relay.

It's better to solder and heat shrink them than T-tapping, you might run into shorting issues if water gets introduced to the wiring. 18AWG is fine too, just make sure you get the multiple stranded wire, there is also a single wire but you don't want that one. And I am going to assume you have a BRZ, so that is as far as I can go with my advice! I hope I helped a little bit!

My circuit in action:
I wanted the sidemarkers to function like normal and to function as turn signals, so that meant: 1. Headlights OFF + turn signal OFF = sidemarker OFF 2. Headlights OFF + turn signal ON = sidemarker ON 3. Headlights ON + turn signal OFF = sidemarker ON 4. Headlights ON + turn signal ON = sidemarker OFF In summary, I have the sidemarkers turn on XOR'd by the headlight power and turn signal power. Logic schematic: https://drive.google.com/open?id=16l...dG6AKch7wRs0pJ I abandoned the OEM harness in place and ran my custom one through the driver side firewall grommet expansion. The logic modules are housed and potted in plastic enclosures I stashed in the driver side footwell cowl by the hood release latch. |
