    This is dope 👍🏻

    Is it possible to have them blink in unison? Rather than alternating.

      Yes, but with an extra relay per side. It would also solve the LED problem which doubling the wiring headache.
      Edit: no, I tried to draw the diagram but it wouldn't work. LEDs are possible, just not synced flashing without computerization.

    Also, what is recents it from working with LED lights? And is there a workaround for it?

    • @averycolburn
      @averycolburn  9 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, with 2 relays per light. One relay to alternate between ground and 12v when the turn signal is on, and one relay to send that to the light depending on if the parking lights are on. It complicates the wiring for sure, but is doable.

      The reason it doesn't work with LEDs is that with the parking light off, the power side of the corner marker is a ground, so we switch the ground side of the light to +12v to get it to flash. Then with parking lights on, the turn signal does the same thing but 12v on both sides would turn off the corner light, which is why it alternates instead of flashes in unison with parking lights on

      @@averycolburn Next question. Would you be willing to assemble the needed parts so that it could be as close to plug & play as possible? (For a fee of course)

      @@brianthompson9241 actually, I take that back, I tried to draw it out several times and could not get a synchronized parking light and turn signal when the parking light is on. Sadly I can't solve the de-sync. The issue is a turn signal off is the same as a turn signal in-between flashes, so an in-between flash turn signal would default to allowing the parking light to pass through a relay, so you'd go from on to on. No flash. With an Arduino taking inputs and spitting outputs down the pipe while waiting 1-2 seconds after receiving the last turn signal input, it could be done, but that's a bit overkill for what I had in mind. If you don't mind the de-sync but want LED functionality, that is still possible with a little more work and still a single relay. See my element owners club post for that revision

      @@averycolburn Yeah, I see how that could be overkill to adjust for the G sink.
      What about my question involving combining all the parts together and making it as plug-and-play as possible?

    I was looking at Element Lifestyle's video on this (ruclips.net/video/Vx2ObM4Hl3U/видео.html) and he's not using any relays. What's the difference? Is a relay really necessary?

      Edit: looks like he's just attached the corner markers to the turn signals. They are now turn signals, and don't come on with parking lights. Mine still work as parking lights when the turn signals are not on, like they did from the factory.
