first off, who makes this?  I got a set of turn signal lights, and these were in them.  they were wired with diodes, and I didn't know why.  anyone know?  what I'm looking for is a schematic explaining other methods of wiring them up.  I'd like to have 'em set up so that when I push my brake and turn on the turn signal, the signal that's on turns off the brake light for that "ring".  (make sense?)

Correct.  They're from Electrical Connection.

I have the install wiring diagram for them....somewhere.  Might take me awhile to find it though.  Sad

This is them after I installed them.....

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

That's what this circuit does.  Inexpensive & reliable and I've been using it for a dozen years.

Hey papa,I took the long expensive way,using the 1157 base w/48 red leds custom dynamics part#GEN-20-R-1157 and frt. t/sig assm.for 2k model year in the rear.
along with a run/turn/brake module from an old sportbike,my rear turns have bright red running lamps and really bright stop and turns.along with led board in the center brk lamp you can't miss me from behind.My harley  riding friends are quite impressed with this setup,since it is the view they're use to seeing Grin

Did you get the led board for the brake from custom dynamics as well?

Thanks.
