So I assume you figured out that I went to amber turn signal in the back.... so the "new" LED combination lights have 12 amber LEDs as turn signals, 12 red LEDs as tail/brake lights and 6 white LEDs as back up lights.

On the OEM tail lights, I added some white and some amber LEDs to the back up light housing, to have both finctions in there. But the back up is just way too dim that way. So I might try a switch back LED bulb that has white and amber in one unit. The stop/tail lights will be converted with a dakota digital conversion kit and the rear side markers use replacement Osram LEDs.
Hope this answers the question!

P.S.: to separate the stop/turn wire, I ran a completely seperate wire driectly from the white wire on the brake switch to the tail lamps. The original Stop/turn wires only funtion as turn wires now.
