Amber Turn Signals

[Yanks4285]

Since I have been on this club lots of Mavericks have been rear ended. I am going to switch to LED bulbs. I don't have my truck yet (maybe October). I been always trying to figure out how to add amber signals somewhere on the back. They are way more easy to see. I ordered Night Light tailgate light strip on Amazon. It has red running lights red brake lights white backup lights. This one has amber directional turn signals. At first I thought will it work? Brakes and turns are combined on vehicles with red only lights. Only vehicles with amber turn signals are separate. I figured hitting the brake would result in amber brakes.

I plugged them into my 07 Ford focus trailer plug and yeah every thing functions properly. I figured I was going to have to run a wire to the front turn signals since they have no brake function. Then I thought I may had to buy a converter box for vehicles using amber lights. So glad I don't. I may have to hard wire so I don't loose my back up lines. The truck will think I always have a trailer attached. Just wanted to share this with fellow Maverick owners. We gotta protect our Mav's little rear ends. Check on Amazon and it will show up. I left a review so you will know you it is the correct item.

The best solution for this is to add a switchback to the reverse light part of the housing. Ive seen this done in Toyota Trucks and some Subaru's. Sounds simple to do in theory. Use a socket that has dual filament capability. White for reverse, amber for turn signals. I havent done this but just my thoughts as to what Ive seen done and looking at what you are trying to accomplish.

Did you get a chance to try the harness from E-trailer?
Inquiring minds want to know!


Thanks

Sorry so late answering. Just rechecked this post. Ordered one but waiting for nice weather. I want to black out my tail lights. Figured I would do it all at the same time. Don't want to take the lights out twice.
