So as I'm sure we're all aware, B mode can slow down the Leaf significantly without touching the brake pedal. However, your brake lights don't come on in such circumstances.
I've searched and found lots of discussion about whether the lights should come on, but nothing as far as someone having actually done something about it.
Let's say I was interested in making sure my brake lights were on anytime I have >2 bubbles of regen active. What's the best way to go about that?
I see two options:
Hardware mod: maybe find the wire that controls the 3rd regen bubble in the dash, and splice it out to a relay that is hooked into the brake lights.
Or...
Software mod: build some kind of device that that plugs into the OBDII port, which monitors the regen level and sends a "brake lights on" message.
Any thoughts on which is more feasible, or if there are other options I haven't considered?
