One of the easiest ways to do this mod is with Tap-In squeeze connectors between the blue-black and yellow-black wire. ( or which ever wires are at 1 and 4) It takes all of 10 min.

His, Chile RED over, Madness intake, Magnaflow exhaust, Helix 15% Pulley & RDR Swaybar
Hers, Electric Blue / Union Jack on top and BONE Stock

The problem with doing it that way is that if you have the actual rear fogs enabled, turning them on will also turn on the brake lights. Could be dangerous.

The diode solution allows the rear fogs to be on without the brakelights coming on along with them.

I have enhanced turn signals in lieu of additional brakelights. I believe they have greatly improved my merging skills. :smile:
