....we installed a completely separate wiring harness and a second set of bulbs in the tail light assembly of our jeeps. when we're connected to the MH the aux braking system uses this aux wiring harness and the second set of bulbs. when we're unhooked the original bulbs and wiring harness are active. simple and effective.

My apologies for not making my previous post completely clear. Your installation of a second bulb in the tail light assembly works for incandescent bulbs. However, when I installed the wiring system on my 2015 Cherokee Trail Hawk, I found that the LED tail light assemblies are completely sealed and therefore there is no room for installing additional bulbs.
I do like the suggestion by wa8yxm for installing relays instead of diodes. I may try them if I buy a new toad or have problems with the diodes that I currently am using.
ok, len, thanks for clearing that up. i'll have to add an item to our pre-purchase checklist to have the sales critter pull off the taillight assembly before purchasing a new Jeep.
