Great. So now after a fair bit of reading at other boards it looks like voltage needs to be reduced from 12v to 6v as 2010+ led taillights require 5v to work. That is why these are so bright now.

Could you not use one of those HGV / Truck 24 to 12 droppers and then only give it 12 on the 24 side? might work... then you could use some 12 V relays to switch the lights from your 6 v supply

Yup, I was looking at these 12 to 6 v converters. The thing is these have to be added to every line and from what I read on other forum turn signals stop working with these added. All the rest is correctly dimmed but blinkers somehow dissapear totally. 07 3.6 TDV8 Vogue

Have you tried straightforward resistors on each line cutting the 12 to 6 Volts ? Just find a decent electric component shop and experiment a bit with them or find a good electronics specialist to sort it out for you MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Today I just ordered a set of magic boxes from super tweaks for GBP 225.

Just a quick note that Supertweaks is not a good company to order from.

Ordered plenty of times from Supertweaks including my modules front and rear and not had any problems. Plenty of others have ordered from them as well. Recommend from me. |
