    Default Can I connect a Single Led strip to Day light & Brake light at the same time?

    Can i connect the red wire of this strip to the day light and the brake light at the same time?

    Would the light be brighter when I apply the brake?

    Thanks for your help.

    Please show us the Light Strip.
    Normally there are 2 different wires for brake and running lights and 2 sets of lights either LED or filament..
    You would need to use diodes to keep the signals separate with no feedback.
    Connecting the Brake and Running lights together will cause significant issues with the CANBUS.

    You probably would need to have a diode(s) in place to prevent a back feed. BUT… the LED strip would also have to be capable for dual brightness illumination

    No. The brake light would be fed by the day light power and be on all the time. As others have said, get an LED strip made to do what you want.
