Default How Do I wire front signal to rear signal

How do i wire the front signal to the rear signal so the rear signal lights would stay on until you signal left or right on a DC2? Kinda confusing but again i wanna make it so the rear signal light would stay on along with the brake lights until you use the signal. Please someone help if you understand what i am talking about

You could just wire up another light into that socket.

Auto part stores have sockets. You could just drill a hole for the socket, buy an LED bulb, and wire it to the brake light. Assuming the signal light will be brighter it should work fine.

You'll need to swap out the 1156 sockets for 1157 sockets. The rear turn signals are only a single filament, you need double filament bulbs to light dim with parking lights, and bright with the signal.

You'll also need to find a way to disable the low filament when flashing, like the fronts do. But you can't just run wires from the front to the back, the flasher unit depends on resistance for its flashing rate, and running another bulb inline will slow the blinker, significantly.
