  1. no not  enough wires off the lights


  2. WHY WOULD YOU HAVE A DRL AS THE TOP BRAKE LIGHT? That would confuse people and be a hazard, for sure.  Also, having it flash with the blinker is foolish if you are not stopping and may be illegal to have a strobing top, red light.  I do not understand what you mean by have them cone on as brake lights.

  3. It will not work and most likely cause damage to the electrical system.

  4. They have LCD TAILIGHTS NOW!?

    Back in my day we didnt have that fancy ****.

    Anyways, Yes.

    However, You'll need a way to isolate the circut.

    Its alot of wiring that you wont knwo how to do. and if you dont take classes, youll **** it all up.

    You can make them one of those, but not all without a shitload of wiring.

  5. You've got some issues you need help with. First, there is no such thing as an LCD light. LEDs, yes. So let's assume that you are talking about LEDs. Let's move on. LED turn signal/brake lights can cause problems with your electrical system if it was not originally equipped with them, specifically the turn signals, because LED lights don't always have enough internal resistance to trigger the turn signal flasher. If you don't believe me, read the box they come in. Wiring lights of unknown resistance into an existing system as you suggest may  be a mistake and may result in blown fuses or other malfunctions. Your car is equipped from the factory with the lights it is required to have, and as such, it is wired a certain way, the wiring is engineered to handle the electrical load, and it is designed in such a way so as to protect itself from things like excessive resistance, short circuits, excessive load, and most importantly, human intervention in any of its systems. If you choose to tamper with the system, you can expect electrical system failures.
