Reverse LED's install and weird discovery
#21
would the colored lights turn on when your use your turning signals or just when hazards are on?

I do think brake lights in the US have to be red by law. I don't think having a couple small amber lights in addition to all the red lights will cause any trouble, but it's good to know all the risks.

Both hazards and turn signals work off the gray wire. I think it's because the NA spec has the indicator using the red brake lights, so brake/indicator/hazards all piggy back off the gray wire. As such I recommend getting the white/red combo if you want the indicators too and prefer all the lights to be uniform.

I finished connecting to gray today and they work perfectly. Because brake lights and indicators are on the same wire, this also adds additional brake lights. I don’t think that’s a bad thing but one should be aware it’s not possible to wire *just* the blinker/indicator.
Here’s a short video for reference testing before I fully attached them.

so just the colored lights are flashing while braking and signaling? if you get red and white lights it works
I agree with this take.

I have a new set of the gen 2 reverse lights with amber turn signals integrated (in the box). id like to sell if anyone is interested. Sold my defender and the lights came about a month after it left my garage...took 2-3 months for delivery of the lights. These are about $120, shoot me a reasonable offer and i can send them off.
