My Subaru has separate amber turn signals, the motorhome does not. I'm assuming I will still need a converter in addition to the diodes? Otherwise, if I hit the MH brakes the taillights will activate because current will be sent to the bulb.
The Subaru brake lights activate even when the engine is off, with or without the key in the ignition. I turn the key just enough to free up the steering wheel lock, not to turn on Accessories, so the battery never goes dead.

i.e. one set of lights is the brake lights, but when you turn on the turn signal, a different bulb lights.
My Vue and Camry are like this so I don't need diodes.. I simply wired a connector on the front of the car and tied it in directly to the running lights and turn signal wires on the front of the car.
