Can anyone confirm which wires to tap for load resistor for front turn signal bulbs (LED)?

Whoa! I think that just blew my mind. I mean, slim to none (mostly none) chance I actually move on this, but the idea is so cool. I hate our lame parking brake.

Oh, I know the dual rear caliper is for supa-drifto madness. Fine, good. Separate from the original brake so you can handbrake the rears to an actual stop (initiating the drift) without hitting the full-vehicle brakes which would lose momentum.
I want to maximize loss of momentum. So... dual front calipers. Porsche 926 ish.

That's meant for a separate hydraulic handbrake system for drifting without locking up the front wheels.
Also isnt the parking brake cable actuated on a drum brake?
Only way that's gonna work is if you replace that with a hydraulic hand brake
No, no, that's not the point. If I'm understanding this right, this if for the rear only, where the extra caliper is activated by hand, turning our useless parking brake into an honest-2-god hand-brake!

Yeah, it sucks. Little shoes on the backside of the rear rotors.
You know, my kid's 2013 Sentra has a proper hand brake. And my wife's 2018 Forester has a proper hand brake. But the parking brake in my G is only good for, well parking.
When I was young, I developed this habit of hand-braking in particular situations involving traffic cops. It became kind of an instinctive thing, and I find myself doing that occasionally even today. Muscle memory, I guess, IDK. I'm not saying it's rational, or even effective (LOL), but it happens. And when it happens driving the G, which is more likely than the other two cars, the limp parking brake masquerading as a hand-brake... it just p1sses me off.
I don't care about drifting, but the idea of having a proper hand-brake caught my attention. But no, two calipers looks kind of dumb.

Verify with a multimeter, but the greens are likely the power for parking and turn flash, and the white is ground. I'd put it on the ground.

For ground check for continuity going from battery ground or body ground to one of the wires.
By the way those switchbacks you have are terribly cheap quality. I can tell just by looking at those diodes. That bulb is using LED chips that was introduced 6+ years ago. Your factory incandescent signals are likely to be brighter than those LEDs on a bright sunny day.
