Rear blinkers as marker mod? - Electrical

Today I installed 06 clear globes on the front of my 04 and installed LED Swithbacks from Auto Illumination. White/Amber combo. I want to do the same for the rear blinkers as well. I am going with the red/amber LED switchback. However the rear blinkers don't act as markers. The middle wire is missing from the connector. Anyone know of a mod besides this one http://www.murphysmo...R/#Turn_Signals ? I'd like one with pictures and better step by step instructions.

I wanted them to be a brake light for more braking indication. I used a universal trailer light converter avabile from just about anywhere. I wired it up using inputs from the taillight, when this was done, it had a weird effect. When I am braking and using a turn signal, it flashes fast. If I am not braking and using a turn signal, it flashes normal. I haven't cared to much about this, I still have 4 bulbs lighting up when I brake. There is a motorcycle specific product, Priority Lites I think, that would do just like I did, but hopefully without the signal flash issue.

As for making them running lights, the mod you suggested would work, but I would look at a wiring diagram to see if it could be simplified.

I found the Priority Lites, here is the link, it does running, braking and turn function. http://www.soundoffr...cts/lights.aspx

Yeah that would be even better, having everything light up when braking. I'll just bite the bullet and go for it tomorrow. It's simple and straight forward but I'm a picture person. I need reference!
