I used 3-amp barrel diodes, Type 1N5404. Here's a link to a US store that sells them, I'm sure they would be easy to find in a hardware store in the UK as well: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...tId=2062579&cp

I just did this mod, following Ilko instructions. I used a back up light harness from a recycler ($45). It was a really easy, and works great. Thanks Ilko!

Great thread bump! I was wondering about increasing the brake light visibility the other day when I was sitting in traffic and could see my car's rear in the reflection of an SUVs front bumper. The OEM brake lights really are small. Looks like another item on my to-do list!

When the rear fog switch is on they will be constantly on. When it's not they will light up with the brakes.

Almost sounds too easy... that's why I'm asking

I'm planning on doing this mod. I have a spare taillight harness (1 side only) and it has two sockets (1 brown like pictured in this thread, and 1 black w/ 2 prongs inside).

Can I do this mod w/ these 2 sockets?
