Ok so in installed/added 2 led Brake lights in the back. I still have my normal bulb brake light. They all work together. All is well. I bought a relay meant for LED that strobes it or makes it flash so many times when i press the brake. Question... can i install this in this setup? Will it make the regular bulb strobe? will it blow the relay since it connected to a bulb and leds? The relay switch says it has 2amp output max. Is there any wiring setup i can use that would bypass the bulbs?. Thanks for the input. Picture provided.

Well I guess i shall be the pioneer to this particular conundrum. I let you guys know the outcome. Maybe i should check to see how much stock bulbs cost first.
You'd need to calculate the total power draw of both the stock bulb and the LEDs. You would have too look it up. The bulb probably will have a number of either amps or the power stamped on it. The current of the LEDs can probably be found on the internet. Or if you know the power the LEDs are supposed to consume, you can calculate the current. If the total number of the electrical current exceeds 2A, you can add another relay that will be powered by the strobbing relay. Of course you can also connect only the LEDs to the relay and leave the stock bulb connected to the origional wires.
are you talking about those 2 round led lights on both sides of the license plate? i dont have any input but I want to know where you got them.

You don't need to have the regular bulbs flash, and it may be illegal anyway. Just run a wire from the original tailight circuit to the flasher relay, then to the LEDs.
Thanks mole.. exactly what i did and it works very sweet now. :) Those round leds can be seen for a long ways.. they are bright and makes you want to stare into them.. works for me..
