I considered using them for the blinker mod like I had before but I won't. They will either be on with the lights or switched separately. I haven't decided, once I have them on for a bit I'll make a decision

Wen you have a single level LED light it can be setup for Parker's and directionals BUT the extra wiring, diodes and relays will reduce the project to a PITA I'm short order.
Can you locate a similar LED Panel but with two light level outputs ?
That would be easier to wire up for the directional mod.

Luck with it, looking good.

Progress is halted for the time being. My choice is sealant wasn't the best one. Gonna try black RTV instead.

Just dabbing silicone on the back opening was a fruitless endeavor. I will have to find something to actually cover the hole. The stock connector won't fit, the board is in the way

Just put a piece of tape up on the inside, that way the silicone will have something to rest on until its dry.

You could split the power into the led panel... use a resistor on one input & no resistor on the other input (use a diode on each input for safety)... the power in with the resistor will be the low light setting & the power in without the resistor will be full brightness.
I use a similar circuit with my led oval rings & fender badge plates

I agree with the relays & additional circuits being a PITA... I've been trying to figure out a simple way for the blinker mod using led's that doesn't require modding the stock wiring AND is plug-n-play... I'm about to give up, it seems impossible.

I am close to getting a true switchback plug-n-play led mod.

Wow, it's been awhile since I worked on these.

The reason my updates came to a screeching halt is I screwed up the lenses I was going to use. I put off ordering new ones because I wanted to do other mods, and with my SAS drawing near I figured I'd try and finish this up.

Got new lenses painted, I'm cleaning off old glue to try and seal these up. My goal is to have them mounted this weekend.
