Sample Parts:

3 Pin Electronic LED Flasher: Virtual Village - US
Bosch Style 5 Pin 30 - 40 Amp Relay W/ Resistor

You think you don't know anything, well my head must be in a paper bag then.

Question:

What is the purpose of a Diode?

Why a resistor as well as the flasher? I understand the flasher...

Are the pictures of the brake, toggle and reverse the lines that go into the tail lamp assembly.

All I was trying to do was to have the fog lamp blink 3 or 4 times when I brake then go to a solid RED until I let my foot off the brake pedal. The addtional blinking while reversing would be nice but not essential.

This is a good thread for most of us
