Is there a way to make the inside and outter lights driving lights AND brakes lights too? Meaning they light up when driving light are on, and brighten up when i press brake. Leaving the middle light out. It appears one of the lights (I think middle, dont remember) has a dual filiment bulb, but only one filiment actually lights up. Im sure this can be done, but wanted to know if anyone knows a quick way to do this.


Thanks!

I don't think there's an easy way to do this...
I think you would have to end up splicing wires

Did this last night. Turned out pretty good I thought. Moved the outside light to the round light, the middle light to the outside, and the round light to the middle... so now the outside and round light are on all the time, and then the round light gets brighter, and the middle light lights up when I step on the brake. Only had to extend the ground wire on the turn signal in order to do this. kinda want to extend some other wires tho to get the harness plug back into it's bracket.
