Just got Evo-r's Foglamp kit

What color is the reverse wire ? I want it to flash when in reverse but stay on when I hit the brake...

Orange for reverse, green for brake

I'm pretty sure this is what you guys are trying to do. I think Jay said on the original thread that this would cause the brake light to appear brighter if the flashing mode was also activated (by the reverse lights in this case).

Hey ProfessorDave .. do you know if that was confirmed yet? I still haven't had time to install mine .. and to be honest I think I am putting the install of my exhaust before I contemplate working on the this light. Even though I received the package back on Tuesday . .I just have not been able to make the time (part of that is I do not want to lay on a cold garage floor at 10pm at night trying to get this installed .. lol)

I too would prefer to have both functions.. if you could help guide me through that process, I would much appreciate it and in fact .. would even buy you a Cohiba or if you prefer flavor over just a big name then perhaps a Padilla Miami, the next time you make it out to Ybor! LOL

It took me longer to remove the old light than it did to do my exhaust! I hope you have better luck with yours

Looks like xwchriswx has done exactly what you're looking for, so when he posts his DIY the cigar will have to go to him. Although I'd take the Padilla over the cohiba anyday
