YES, it's another tail light conversion that's been asked...

I really dislike Spyder's, but I enjoy looking at Talon Spyder's. It really is sad that the factory didn't put an investment into making them.

I will be looking into this post time to time to see the finishing work!

Good job bro on all the effort!

Well, I'm still trying to do this project... I looked at the wires connected to the brake pedal and compared them to the connector for the flasher relay. The only wire that's the same on both is a solid green with silver rings, maybe 16 or 14 gauge. All others are 18 gauge. So I'm thinking this is the wire I need to cut, as mentioned in post 2 from Wes. Can anyone confirm this? Also in the same post, its not clear as to which way I connect the wire. Do I connect the wire straight from the pedal to the tails, or the wire from the relay to the tails, eliminating the wire from the pedal? Or anyone with pics, might help...

Hope I/he helps!

Well guys, I finally got to talk to 97eclipseNT about this wiring modification. I followed the info he gave me tonight, and I got the blinker and brake lights completely separate now, with the factory blinker relay. He did mention that there was a typo regarding the post he made in another section, but I'll cover that when I do a write-up. The only exception is when the brakes are on, and the blinkers are turned on, the center brake light flashes too. I'm not sure why this is happening because I wired the center light to the same wire as the tail light brake lights. I'll have to play with this more later. Here are some pics so you all can see the outcome so far.

Since some of this info wasn't previously available on here, I just completed a write up explaining this process, but I forgot to take some pictures while I was out in the garage. I'll go do that later today, or tonight after school, and then post the write-up.
