Default need help on wiring...

i want to make my brake light show turn signals. most of thje new cars come like this now.
each taillight has two bulbs for brake lights, i just want to use the outer ones for turn,
basicaly when i engage left turn signal and brake at the same time my right tails are both red, but left inner is red outer is flashing. i know its possible so i dont need any post that its impossible, i just need the diagram how to connect the trailer light converter in to the civic circuit, also do i need 1 or 2 flashers?
thanks

maybe i am misunderstanding

you want your outer tail to flash with blinker, and your inner tail to be brake light?

i thought that was how stock is?

im not at work but i can pull up a diagram for you if you can explain it a little better to me. sorry i cant grasp the concept right now

Just tap the wires. Run the signal from the regular turn signals to the outer brake light. Should work right?

Well the brake light should work if the signal is off. When the signal is on the brake light shouldn't stay solid.

R666 has it right....

all you need to do, is splice the turn signal wire into the brake light that you want to flash & it should only flash when the signal is activated & act as a regular brake light any other time...
