Humm. I am guessing he found the wires that lit up the second row and attached them to his brake wires.
Its all about providing power to the LEDs you want lit up when you give them current...IE hitting the brake. Seeing all the wires are a specific color you can put a brick on the brake pedal and cut most of the wires then start connecting them till you get the desired effects then solder it up and cover with some heat shrink wrap when you are through.
Then just do the same to the other side.
Shouldnt be too hard if you have the few min to do it. Worst case you have to solder and heat shrink cover them back the old way.
I might try it if I get bored in the next few weeks. I dont see it being all that hard just time consuming. Power to the lights, brake light on, Cut the ones making the C. connect till they light up, then see how its like brake light off.

He must have his reasons...I stopped caring when he first didn't respond. Let's move on. Someone smarter will figure it out and post the results.

If was gonna be around my car I would. All the wires are a different color, its about cutting the ones that go to brakes and then touching them to a powered wire to see what lights up.
And I hope he realizes its this stuff that will never sell his EVOMS kit

The entire idea behind 6speedonline was to create a place where ideas and knowledge could be shared. While contributing ideas is not mandatory, mocking someone for not sharing is really unproductive. Equally, I hope that those asking for help will take the time to share their findings.
To those who tried to help - thank you. Everyone needs help at some time. Hopefully, members will be more kind and forthcoming with their knowledge, rather than demanding and expecting. I think those members who have purchased the Dectane lights would be very interested in this successful modification.
