Here:
6 OHM 50W 2 BULB LED LOAD EQUALIZER RESISTORS TURN SIGNAL BLINKER FIX
^ Say what? Just replace the reverse lights with red 194 bulbs and use those as inners, connect em like in your diagram and it'll work. Then reroute the positive reverse wire down to the lip where you're putting your reverse lights.

That diagram is turning 2 bulbs into 8. 2 per assembly. One for brakes/parking, the other for signalling. By creating 6 more points of light, ill have to manufacture 4 mirror shrouds to use the inside ring of all 4 lights seperately for turn signals... I'm just curious if the power going back there is enough to handle 8 194 bulbs...

So if I buy 8 of the 194 led replacements from v led.com I'm going to find 6 more bulb sockets to put them in. Project is starting to get more and more complicated..

So I'm late to the party here, but trying to add a dedicated set of turn signals to the back of the car. These will only blink when the signals are blinking, no brakes or marker lights (like the rear lights) or lighted as parking lights (like the fronts?) Where can I find this output at? I will run wires from anywhere in the car I need too.
And then I am also interested in a "Hazard only" wire too. Where is the BCM and what colors am I looking for? Thanks.
Hmm, maybe I have to catch them at the dash indicators? (I'm running a small amount of LED's with this so I don't think the indicators would be hurt by that.)

Don't the Rear brake lights turn on 1/2 brightness with the Headlights on?
I have a LED 3rd brake light that has connections for Right Turn, left Turn, Hazard, brake, and Reverse +12 leads. I have it set up for Brake and reverse right now, but would like it to blink depending on turn signal and on hazard, but don't want it to have the right and left 1/3rds dimly lit if the driving lights are on.

Yeah the smaller filament in the bulb comes on once you turn the headlight switch to the first notch. As mentioned already, the irritation here is getting a dedicated turn signal input from the front of the car, either at the BCM or from the front turn signals.

So the wiring diagram above doesn't show up when I click on it, Can anyone send me in the right direction to the BCM wiring I need to do this then? (or does anyone think if I was to use the indicator wiring it would cause a problem?)

It won't cause a problem. I've done it before. Didn't end up going through with it, but I run wires form the front test out rear independent signals and it worked.
God knows where you can find a wiring diagram, they also changed to a new BCM for '07, IIRC. I remember finding one that was pretty complicated to read, but it was from an '05 or '06 and some of the stuff didn't match up for my '07.
