They're all already coded to LED anyway...

Thanks for any help
Ok quick update on this. I have in fact managed to use the rear standard tail light pin to illuminate the LED part. A couple of caveats: 1. They only turn on when the lights are actually on (either by the switch or when it’s dark on auto) and 2. They only turn on around 50% brightness, they go to 100% when the brake pedal is pressed.

Any ideas on how I can work around this?

I was thinking fog lights as brake lights and rear tail lights always on…
I will try coding above for fog lights as brake lights.
Does anyone know how to code rear tail lights always on?

Thanks
