I think he wants to have the outer ring around the back up light to light up when he brakes, not the actual white reverse light, you know that small ring around the reverse light. Anywayz, to the OP I think some people have done this before, I believe they wired up some LEDS in there, and spliced them into the brake lights. I may be wrong tho.

That is INCREDIBLY illegal and INCREDIBLY stupid. Be prepared for COUNTLESS tickets.

I think what your intentions are and what would suit better is a LED kit for the red RING around the reverse lights. A few people have done their own if you search around the site a bit.

That's what I'm thinking/hoping he means.

I've seen Pics of a Cobalt that had a LED ring in the red section of those two light that worked with the brakes. This would seem pretty easy to me.

see i knew thats what he was talking about. but me and my buddy are working on a project right now for some custom tail lights. you know the two reflective rings on all 4 tailights? we are gonna make led rings for those and make the normal brake lights night time running lamps and blinkers. So this will take us a min to get it perfect. But i am working on a how to while we do it.

Oh no.

Please tell me you didn't connect your reverse lights to your brake lights.

Because, that is illegal, and stupid. And you don't have reverse lights anymore.

Or causes an accident because they think someone accidentally bumped their car into reverse at the light and that they're gonna get hit when the light turns.
