Looks awesome - can these be wired to only turn on with parking lights (i.e, no turn or brake light activation)?

Yep, just connect these wires and tape up the rest

Led Reflector - > Witring harness on car. = Function
____________ _________________ _________
Yellow wire -> TAPE UP dont connect to car wires
Black wire -> Black and white wire. = Ground
White wire -> Solid Green wire. = Running
Red wire -> TAPE UP dont connect to car wires

I ordered them too. Probably just not doing the turn signal option though. Guessing rear bumper has to be removed to install?

yeah needs to come off...

I wired mine so that I have the normal running lights when my lights are on, but when I brake it activates the signal mode so I have a sequential brake light effect, and wired the brake mode to my fog lights.

Those rear reflectors connected to the brakes are sweet , I've never really liked these types of reflectors in the past but hooked up to the brakes they look good.

If anyone wishes to not molest their OEM harness, here is one source of connectors and pins. Grab the right male/female pair, make a mini extension and tap your new accessory in plug-n-play mode.

Be sure to grab a suitable crimp tool.

That is pretty cool you can just make an adapter for these without chopping the stock harness.

Can you confirm which specific one on that listing would be the one you'd need?

I sold my 2013 LED tails so I don't have the connector. If someone could post up high resolution photos and measurements I'm sure we can figure it out.

Or Jeff Lange might be able to get an OEM PN?

Can anyone confirm that these, while on with the headlights on, get brighter when the brake is applied? Or do they just stay the same brightness as they do with the lights on? I imagine they stay at the same brightness all the time, just confirming.

They will brighten when you brake, so
long as youve wired them as the above instructions in this post detail.
