I made my saddlebags two wire (hot and ground) LED that was made for turn or brake into a RBT light using a RBT module from DK Customs. Note, I was still running my stock turn signals so did not need a load balancer.

I subsequently got rid of the strobe brake lights and made it solid.

LoL Are you The Rizz? I was just looking at another forum page and a guy named The Rizz did the same thing. Anyway Im really trying to isolate the turn from the turn/brake function on my 3 wire lights. From what I gathered so far Turn and Brake share a wire and the other wire is the running lights. There are lights that are amber and red in one housing and im trying to figure out how to utilize the amber light correctly.

Yeah, it seems like most people are trying to trying to get RTB out of a single light and Im trying to break it up. Go figure. Apparently the LED lights Im looking to install are "Dual Intensity". Im thinking that will be similar to the existing RTB that I have now where the running lights are on but they are dim and once the brake is applied they become brighter. I might have to add one of those LED strips under the fender and wire that in to make up for the lost light if this Dual Intensity thing doesnt work out... More lights never hurt anyone... But do you really think that product on Amazon will provide the separation I need to isolate a turn SIGNAL? I bought a pack of T connectors and Im gonna experiment some configurations before I go in there with a pair of cutters and solder mistakes. I was really hoping someone here knew the color codes or if someone could tell me if the SIGNAL wire was sending power or if it were only acting as an on/off switch to the power that was already being applied via the RUNNING or BRAKE light feed.

Ya I think it will separate the brake from the turn giving you a way to use the brake signal and the turn signal independently for 2 different filaments either in different bulbs or the same dual filament bulb but one will be low intensity. Then you need another set of bulbs for running lights. Or use the strip under the fender for the brake light. And the dual filament with the module for your seperated turn signal and running light. That's what I'd do.
