Default 3 LED Side Markers, EVO M3 Rings, 3 LED Badges

Today I decided to install my Nismo Front Lip, so I finally did the side lights. I combined the 3 led badges with the Evo rings and the amber side markers with 3 leds. Using a special "Black Box" they are all illuminated with the parking lights or headlights, but what is special is that all three lights flash as turn signals when applied or 4 ways. I knew it was possible, and a member here made the black boxes for me, and they work perfectly. I just finished so I am very tired, but tomorrow night I will make a small movie to show how they work. Simple, legal, and they work.

It's a mystery black box - don't know the circuit, only the guy who made it knows. All I know is that it works great.

Thus, we need a picture of the circuit board to demystify the mystery It shouldnt be too hard to open it up and snap a pic. Its probably going to be some simple relay set-up which I think all of us could benefit from. Also can u post prices of your combo setup. I want to do something similar to what you mentioned. But i dont really feel like buying multiple kits and then combine them. It might not be as cost effective as buying a prebuilt combo kit. Ultimately, i want to have something like this for my set-up:

Here's a picture from the link ZZZealous007 provided ...





and here's a little translation from the one that was written under the pic ... i guess, the guy stop making it cuz it's hard ...

"Also the fact that it is asked being... it tried making.
However three emblems were made wasteful, it became the optical onewhich considerably is close to ideal.
At Z's Factory incoming order production schedule."

Those badges are very nice - and look like a real hassle to construct.
