I want the outers running/turn signal than when i press on the brake i want the inners to light up while the outer are still lit up but i only want the outer to get brighter.
or like the ipcw ones with the inner and outer running/brake/turn signal.

Are you talking about something like this?

If so, it's called a skyline mod. You can do it yourself if you want.

It is possible to get the lights to work like the R35. I'm not 100% sure on how to wire it up honestly. I know it took me a while to get my "truck" mod lighting to work with the breaks/turn signal, but it's been almost a year since I did that. So yes it is possible and can be done. Let me look around and see if I can find a wire diagram for the light setup and see what can be done.

Don't have a problem making them if I can figure out the dang wire diagram I found. I really need to look at the wire colors unless someone else knows them and which ones do what.

Did talk to a buddy at work who did something similar to their Jetta and they had to reprogram the ECU or something to get it to work.

It looks bad, I wired mine like that for a bit. It's a cool idea in theory but once you actually see them lit up... not so much.

Acey, do you have pics so Cobalt08LS can see? I was thinking of making them if he still wants, but still need to know if he wants them and I need to find a Auto scrap yard or something to make them.
