NEWB - LED Tail light wiring diagram

In summary, the conversation is about hooking up LED tail lights with two modules, one for dimming, braking, and strobe functions, and the other for turn signal blinking. The tail lights are wired together through a harness and the wiring for dimming and braking comes out of the other tail light. The individual is seeking advice on the correct way to switch power between the two modules and has drawn a diagram to show their current setup. They are also unsure of the specs of the modules. The expert suggests following the directions and advises against running the brake light to the module under Number 3 slot as it may cause issues with the OEM wire. They also question the purpose of the switch for the strobe function and recommend drawing the light

Hello. So I have a pair of LED tail lights that are operated by 2 modules. One is for Dimming, Braking and strobe function, and the other is for Turn signal blinking. One tail light is wired to the other through a wire harness and then the wires for dimming and brake function come out the other tail light.

I have drawn this diagram to show you how I am trying to hook up my tails. My question is, when i split my brake wire into two wires, I'm running them to on-off-on switch. Brake light on one side, Strobe function on the other, then running the brake light to the module under Number 3 slot then to the OEM brake light wire. Then running strobe to a switch and then to the module. Would this be the correct way to "switch power" between the two?

Sorry I'm totally new at this so forgive me that I do not have the specs of these modules and such.

Thanks,

That sounds to me like a mistake.
It invites the OEM wire and the "module" to fight over who controls the light.

What is purpose of that switch?

Go ahead and draw the light bulbs inside your taillamps. That should make it easier for you to figure out how to power them.
