Ok Got The Brake Light Problem Fixed!!

it was the fact that there wasnt engough resistave load on the brake light circuit. LED's are a inductive load, added some incandescants on the circuit and its good to go. next issue if you have seen the pics of the bed i have reds and ambers back there. i want the reds as brake only and the ambers to be my flashers. i could use the high mount brake light for my brake and add the resistor packs that the LED light manufacturer makes on the existing stop/turn wires so i dont go back to the problem i had before. Then run the turn signals off of the fronts im pretty sure the flasher module would be able to handle 2 leds on each side coming from the front. im going to fit the oval LED's in the front lights and some 2.5 round LED's in the corner running/flashers. I like how fast the LED's come on and off instrad of the somewhat delayed incandescants. Im hoping my ABS light problem will be remidied now havent driven it yet....

I think you should be fine hooking up your lights to the front turn signal curcuit.
