stafford vehicle component do a good range as do europa and others. one thing with LED rears if you go that route is they need to be vertical to be seen properly I have followed a few buggies in the past that I could not see indicators or brake lights working due to the body angle bulb lights are not a problem.
Allan has pod rears hanging under the shell and mrs snoopy has hers in home made ally mounts under the tub

There's info here, you'll need an American trailer converter or if you do some Googling, you can wire up regular relay(s) to do the job.

Yes. Isn't that what you were asking? You did say " brake /indercator" didn't you?

Sorry, can't remember, I'd need to Google it but my battery's on its way out so I'll do it later if I think on, or you could Google it yourself if you're in a hurry for the info.

A relay is a universal item that has many applications, which does mean that it does not have a set of dedicated terminals like live/earth etc, as each one will be installed and wired up on its own merits.

Diagram is very clear, but if you are not electronically minded, then either take it very slow to go through it, or enlist the assistance of someone nearby that can come over and help, as mistakes can be quite difficult to troubleshoot.

Mistakes can also cause the magic smoke to escape from the wiring loom, so you'll need a bottle of this... ;D
