Hello, as a temporary fix for non-working brake lights for the summer, I wanted to put mounted trailer lights to use as brake lights. All other lights work, turn signals, tail lights, reverse lights. My problem is when I connect the lights, it is reversed. When brake pedal is not depressed, the brake lights are on. When I depress the brake pedal, the brake lights go out. Is there a way to reverse it using a 5 pin relay switch?
