What do you guys think? Thinking about doing this also.

I think it's interesting, I prefer the ones without the arrow style movement though, just a solid on/off

I am not a fan, at all. For one, the light color does not match.

Yeah, in the video it looks slightly different, but just FYI to the naked eye they match a lot closer . . . (thankfully). When viewing online videos of LED lighting (esp. those with phones and not color corrected) it's almost never exactly like real life. They don't tickle my OCD nerve -- and usually things do!

I wired them differently so they don’t perform the sequential effect when indicating, instead when I brake they perform the sequential effect.

Also wired the brake bright function to the fog lights.

And kept the running wire connected to the running lights so they’re on when headlights on.

different!

Yeah that's creative for sure! I can def. see why you'd try that approach and others might like this wiring approach also for that extra attention getting element when braking (for safety). Thanks for sharing!
