Hi,
I want to use amber led strips and want them to run with the turn signals simultaneously.
What happens if I get give energy from turn signal cables without anything else but just wires.
I want to use 12v 5050 chip amber 3 led strips and they will be totally about 15 leds each.

A lot of px2 owners here use this method for the leds on aftermarket front grilles by giving the energy from one park light for 4 little leds without any problem.
I know that from factory settings of bcm adjustment has this margin for reverse lamb and if you get energy for rear sensors or rear view camera from reverse lamb directly, it works without problem.
I don't want to try and learn because bcm is very sensitive in ranger and if there will be any permanent fault, it will be very pricey here to change the bcm...

1 metre of these only draws 1amp maximum. With the size you are talking you will not even draw .5 amp, just wire it. It should not be an issue.
