I am working on a 1964 Polara and wanted to put sequentially flashing turn signals in rear. I removed the back-up light from each side and wired in another combo tail light/ brake light socket and bulb in its place. I mounted a set of '63 back-up lights in the licence plate cove and they work. I bought a Mallofusa X0029G27OL sequencing module kit and wired it in per online diagram. The turn signals now flash sequentially as desired, and the tail lights work fine. However, I no longer have brake lights. On further investigation, manufacturer says that this product was not intended to work with a bulb with shared function. Bummer!
I know I can get the brake lights to work by running a separate circuit back from the brake light switch. My concern with this is back feeding power to the turn signal modules when the brake lights come on because both circuits use the same bulb filament. I must admit that electrical problems are not my strong suit. Would diodes on each of the separate flash circuits solve this? Does anyone know of another set of sequential modules that would support brake lights? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
