i have toms tail. this was asked earlier but was taken to PM. is it easy to make the signal side brake light too? and have both the brake and signal blink when signaling?

Out of the box, this module will make anything that lights up as a brake light also light up as a turn signal.

I think the side part on the TOMS tails is the running light. It is not wired up in the tail light to be a dual-stage light (bright and dim modes) so it would be difficult to make it work as the turn signal. You could make the whole running light portion into the turn signal (instead of the brake light) but generally that's not a good idea because the running lights aren't bright enough to be turn signals.

Thanks,
Paul

toms tail have their own running light strip(outter). then the brake light(middle), and the turn signals(inner). they are all seperate
im wanting to make the brake/signal both light up when u brake and both blink when u signal
if thats possible with a little bit of rewiring your kit

running light strip(outer), brake light is not lit on this pic(middle), signal(inner) mine is red

I am really liking this.... but is there way to make the turn signal lights to brake light instead of reverse light?

It probably requires a brand new plug-n-play...

I've already ordered but I was wondering, I saw that you mentioned an oem connector could be put into the system for true plug and play installation in place of the splice.for those of us alright with the price increase would it be possible to pay the extra to get the oem connections?

Oh yeah sure, you'd just connect the turn signal input (where you'd normally plug in backup wire) to the HIGH output from the module. No problem! Both the brake and turn lights would act as both brake and turn signal.

Sure you'd just need to connect the bare wire (where you'd plug in the backup wire) to the brake light.


The paper installation instructions that come with the kit will include a number of different scenarios so you can make a custom connection if you'd like! Two t-taps will be included, so you can make the connections yourself if you'd like to make the old turn signal light up as the brake, still light up as turn, or do both, if you'd like, instead of connecting it to backup.

We cannot offer it at all right now at all in this initial run.

If we do offer it in the future it would probably be a $20 upgrade. Since that would make the kit $50 instead of $30 we decided not to include it for the initial run.

This is awesome. Well done guys!

Quick question: If you have the hyper flash module in place under the steering column, do you need a hyper flash relay in back? My gut says no, but you guys are the experts!

i dunno how the wiring works, but is it just repining to get it how i want it for the toms?
