I would like to add additional brake and turn signals to a project vehicle. There will be 2 LED strips running along both sides of the vehicle. One RED LED strip, and One Amber/Yellow LED strip. (total of 4 Strips, 2 per side.) I taped into the rear brake & turn lamp wiring to include these new lights. I used custom T - Wire Harnesses to tap into the rear wiring, so I'm not able to access the turn signal wire before its sent through flasher relay in the vehicles fuse box. That wire is up under the dash, and I really don't want to tear the dash apart to access it. Nor did I want to splice into any of the original vehicles wiring. If needed here is the Park/Tail Light Wiring Diagram https://imgur.com/a/veBWp .. Currently they are just wired directly to the turn & brake wires of the vehicle, (I used the 3rd brake light wiring - to avoid the "Tail/Park lights" which include the rear brakes) so this results in the "Left Brake" strip powered, while the "Left Turn Signal" strip is flashing. Assuming you have your foot on the break, while the turn signal is on -- usually at a traffic light) I tried just using a 5-Pin relay (12v Bosch Style), with the Brake connected to NO, and the turn signal connected to NC, but this resulted in a light show of "Red and Yellow" alternating lights. I could have just switched this around, putting Brake on NC, and Turn on NO, but when you brake the turn signal would not flash.
What I would like to achieve is, when the Turn Signal is active for that side, then the brake light strip for that side is off completely (doesn't flash, doesn't receive power)
