I installed a greddy TT and now when I walk away from the car I can't hear the doors lock because the car is running. So my problem is I'm never really sure if my remote actually locked the doors because the lights that flash on the mirror are so dim.

Has anyone thought about or been able to wire the circuit that makes the rear view mirror lights flash when you push the door lock button on the key fob into the tail light circuit?
 
You could do it, just have to wire it properly so the tail light circuit doesn't backfeed the keyless entry reciever/mirror lamp circuit.
If I remember right they just flash twice?

You can wire it in with a relay or some diodes. But I think the relay would be the way to go.
I'm betting the output from the reciever module is not ideal for even flashing the tail lamps direct.
 
If you take the relay wire off the headlight wire and switch it to the parking light wire you should be good to go.
