Rear Bumper LED/Reflector Wiring HELP!!!

[provizion]

Hey Everyone,

Im Looking to Wire up these eBay LED/Reflector "Rear bumper LED's"

THis is what they are intended to do:
Blink with blinkers
fully light up when brake is pressed
and turn on "dim" when parking lights are on

What I want them to do:
Serve original purpose
Turn ON BRIGHT by a switch to act as rear FOGS
and by fully off

here are some pics that (MAY) help show you what I want.

Thanks in advance.

I have LED reflector lights - Inside the bumper, there are flaps that go inside the car (for pressure equalization, I assume) I ran the wires through there, and then used Wire clam/clip things to my turn signal wires for the Side reflectors, and Wired it to the Licenseplate Light wires for the rears (so they come on when my lights turn on)

Make sure that you have the proper positive/negative, as LED's work one way - Regular bulbs work regardless of + or -.

Generally, Red or color = positive, Black = negative. However, I've seen with Cheap Low quality LED strips (like the ones in my footwells) that they screw up the black/red wires - So its trial an error with questionable quality parts.

Hey Guys,

Thank you for your patience, I have just set my pics to visible to anyone on my Flickr account to hopefully this now works.

Again, i want to be able to have them conected to a switch to control the lights. (a 3 stage switch) so that they will not get power, will fully be functional, and will stay FULLY illuminated (like hitting the brake) to function as a fog while travelling on the highway.

Thanks again :)

You're making things more complicated than they need to be. splice/tap one set of the wires (the ones meant for the brakes) into the brake lights and splice/tap the other into your parking lights or license plate bulb.
Then you won't have to worry about all that extra switch stuff, and they will turn on at night with your running lights.

You can get wire taps for dirt cheap at any electronics hobby store or pay a little extra and get them at CT or Part Source. Just make sure you know what gauge wire you are using and get the appropriate ones.
