Crash Posted November 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 21, 2009 I can't seem to find how to convert a LED light bar to become a RUN and BRAKE light. I thought thee was a simple wire connection that you connected to the running lights and brake lights. Anyone know what I'm talking about. BTW, this is for my SUV.

1BigDog Posted November 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 21, 2009 I can't seem to find how to convert a LED light bar to become a RUN and BRAKE light. I thought thee was a simple wire connection that you connected to the running lights and brake lights. Anyone know what I'm talking about. BTW, this is for my SUV. Freebird had a write-up on this several years ago. I used it on my LED Pilot light bar. It involved wiring in a resistor and diode or two to get the run/brake combo. Im sure he will chime in here.

Crash Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted November 23, 2009 Thanks, Keith. That's what I thought there was but couldn't find it. I even think I had one on my 2000 venture. It says 5-10 leds, I wonder if it support more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted November 23, 2009 Share #8 Posted November 23, 2009 It is not hard to do. The nice thing is that if you put the diodes in backwards nothing bad will happen. Actually it is just that, nothing at all will happen. The resistor does not care which way it is installed. It is pretty easy, not dangerous to you, the bike or your budget, and less than $5 in parts. Go for it and we will help you through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
