Lightbulb Custom Tailight wiring.

Hi I'm new here. Anyway.
I have a 04 crossfire base.
I tinted my tail lights red.

As you know,
the outer bulb is the brake light
the middle is the blinker
and the inside bulb is the reverse

I wanted to make the middle blinker and reverse into a brake light.
but also wanted to make all bulbs flash.
(maybe a sequential timer for kicks)
i tinted the reverse too so figured i might wire the reverse separately to an external reverse bar.
so I guess I want all lights to blink but also turn on when braking.

Anyone have a tail light wiring schematic?

BTW : Thanks for the radio diagram to whoever posted it with the corresponding sides and polarities. Helped tons and now my crossfire bumps with the stock amp

Thumbs up Re: Custom Tailight wiring.

I was able to pull it up at school using shop key pro.

So what I did was bridge the brake light + wire to the blinker + wire.
Its pin 3 to 4 on the harness connector.
Only thing now is my blinkers turn on when I brake as well the indicator on the cluster.
What I need to do is install a diode on the blinker wires so that current can't travel up to the pcm and indicator lights but only current going to the bulb.

Wouldn't a diode , cause the light out indicator on the dash , to constantly light, not being able to complete it's cycle check , for not working bulbs?

Can you add dual filament sockets for the additional lights you need?
