Open it up and see

This is the newer board.
If the board look the same follow the instruction.

If the board look different, you might have to dig through the original
Valenti alternate wiring post
I dont think there are any of the old version on sale right now anymore.

just did this mod again today!

bump-Need your help!

So, it seems that if you have switchback turn signals up front and the flasher relay, it MIGHT cause an issue with the 4th brake light/blinking.

This is a current/load issue-I'm sending pm's to people who might have done this mod according to my video to confirm!

good news! I found an "older" valenti rear light, with slightly different wiring when you open it up. Its the same as some of the other ones I've seen floating around.

Got the wiring figured out, will have photos and video shortly!

I'm plan on doing the blinking version and have switchback blinkers up front. Anyone validate this?

I have one of the older lights with a different wiring from the videos. It sounds like the wiring described in the original thread but those pictures have gone dead and I wanted to be sure. @continuecrushing, were you able to get a video or pictures with the old light you found?

I'll let @continuecrushing confirm but I'd say you just do the same thing with the blue and red wires. Disconnect them and wire them directly to each other to isolate the V. Then move orange wire over for blink and solid red assuming it works the same as the new version. Just some guesswork though.

I do have photos/video...I'll get that up in a few days! Thanks for the reminder lol, I forgot I had that.

Thanks again for the video. I wired up mine this weekend and this post let me do exactly what I wanted. I have switchbacks inbound so I can test that out. Not sure why that would have anything to do with this circuit. I know some people were having some odd unrelated issues with cheaper led switchbacks.

@continuecrushing any updates on this?

qitorr 01-23-2017 02:28 PM

@continuecrushing you had mentioned possibly getting to this over the holidays. Any luck?

Mine works how it should once re-wired when off, v turns on with lights, triangle flashes. But once the car is on, everything still works, except the triangle. The triangle turns on dimly and doesn't flash. What exactly am I looking at here as the issue? Would it be the ground?

Hi,

Is there a way to wire it so the middle triangle doesn't blink but still lights up when I turn on the rear fog light ?

Thanks

Yeah, switch to version 3 and it'll work. I have no idea why it does that. It bugs me that I haven't found out why yet. E

Sure, set it up like wiring 3. BUT, the red wire that comes from the 4th brake light needs to go to the (+) of your rear fog lights. I don't have a rear fog, so I don't know where that wiring is/which wire it is.
