    Has anyone wired a relay for use with led tail lights and does anyone have a diagram and the name of the relay that was used the led tail lights I want to use says you have to wire the relay into the turn signals for them to work.

    If you used a kit and have a link for it I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what relay you need. LED's are one of those things where it could be different for every kit. Usually it's just a 12-volt standard automotive relay. I get mine at Radio Shack because they tend to be a dollar or two under the auto stores.
