JDM Light query..., do both lights on each sluster light up? Options

[Praying_Mantis]

just got some JDM rear clusters and was thinking, some of you guys have both lights on each cluster lit up.
Do they do that as standard or do you have to alter them, if so how? thanks

(i would try them out but my car is having the kit fitted, )

I have done it with my GT - there is no problem to do it and fogs light-up with stops, both look exactly the same. Still you can turn the fogs on and they work.

What needs to be done (as far as I remember):
- buy diods that allow current to go one-way only (you need two per side)
- connect plus wires of stop light and fog light with one diod allowing current to flow from stop to fog,
- put another diod on plus wire of fog light, stopping the current from going to the fog relay.

Done.

I have found simple picture on our forum that shows the connections:


Light on the left is fog, on the right is stop / regular. Plus cable to the right is for regular light.
I>I symbols are diods - as I have written it the electric current flows from left to right and is stopped the other way around.
Hope it helps.
