This issue is far from resolved! Do NOT attempt to attempt any of this until I have figured out if it actually works yet!

Thanks and sorry!

I now return you to the original thread ...

I want to use my existing 6-volt tail and brake lights as turn indicators, too.

I'm wondering if I can use the towbar/flat tow diodes (or even the 80111 diodes from Painless ...) lkike you see in the kits available from etrailer, etc or if they're only for 12 volt systems.

The actual question: Do diodes care what the voltage is, or just the amps?


Some days it's tough bein' a 6-volt guy adrift in a 12-volt world ...
