I wanna say somebody did this, it was forever ago, and on the OS, but I'm pretty sure someone modded their Voy setup this way after acquiring some Ascender tails.
It was two members from somewhere in Europe who did the mod because they didn't want to have to use the ugly Amber version of the GMT360 tails.
Possibly, depends on the LEDs. Depending on if your LEDs don't have built in diode bridges (makes them function without polarity), you could simply flip the bulb around. They would not come on with the parking lights, only with the turn signals. Downside to that, is that during the daytime, your parking lights could flash with the turn signals, although at a much dimmer brightness level.
Now the solution I mentioned before, with the switchback modules takes most of the thought out of the equation. There will be 3 inputs, (turn signal, parking lights, and ground) and 2 outputs for the bulb.
Currently the 2 signals use each other as a ground point, instead of having a dedicated one, which is what the switchback module adds for you, separating the signals from each other.
The challenge comes in determining how you want to physically hook the module up. When I did this mod the first time, I bought the Delphi connectors to go between the 194 harness, and the 194 bulb holder.
They are pretty pricey, so when I went to do it the 2nd time around, I went with a cheaper route, and bought some empty 194 bulb bases, fed wires through the bottom of the base, then filled them with silicone to keep the wires from shorting internally. Fed the wires into a 194 twist lock pigtail (I think they were for a Ford), and used an exacto knife to shorten the rubber twist lock teeth to fit into the headlight. I can't find any pics, so not sure if I took any of that part, but it was WAY cheaper than getting the Delphi connectors.
...out if curiosity, would you happen to know about how many Lumens the stock/factory Clear incandescent bulbs are that GM installed?
Did my HVAC panel since there were only a couple left. Added a splash of colour. I'll put it in the Saab tomorrow. And since the display and dash gauges are green, made them the default colour View attachment 82720
Ohhh. I see. But then how are the connections wired to ultimately power said unit? This could save me a lot of time with my LED work
I tapped into the dome light wire bundle running up the passenger side B pillar for my scuff plate lights. For hitting the key fob, thinking back to the power folding mirror mod, get a timer relay, to be triggered off the unlock relay in the rear block, and set it for 30 seconds or something? Join the 2 circuits through a pair of diodes to prevent back feeding, and there you go.
Edit: I still want some Denali XL running boards
Don't the interior lamps go out after said amount of time?! Would save going through all that trouble with a timer relay IMO
Yes, the dome lights do shut off after a while. Preventative measure to not drain the battery if the engine isn't running. The timer relay was for the function to have them come on when he hits the unlock button.
So if the dome light override is ever used, or if he pulls up somewhere to pick up passengers outside of a restaurant/airport/apartment building/etc, hitting the unlock button will activate the puddle lights as people approach, before the door is opened.
