Wiring for integrated turn/brake lights?

I'm using an R1 taillight and I want the turn signals to work it also. It's 2 round lights, so I'd like the right side to flash for right turn, etc. Then both to come on with brake.
It has 2, 2 filament bulbs with separate wiring. If I wire the turn sigs and brake to it I can't separate them. In other words - I could wire it so the right side flashes, but then the brake will only work the right side. If I wire it so the brake works both, then both will flash.
I need some way to keep the brake and turn current separate yet use the same filament. I know people are doing this, but how? It's kinda like a check valve situation I think.
anybody know?
thanks

The $100 one was the reason I designed one from scratch (several different ones, actually), but the trailer integrators are so cheap there's no point to making one. The parts cost more than the whole unit.

RSTNICK, have you received your $10 unit yet? I've been watching those on eBay but the cheap price has me concerned. Let us know what it is and how it works. Thanks

I saw a pic of the trailer one, after I bought the ebay one, :pinch: and liked how the trailer one has the wiring connectings printed on it.

I used the trailer one from Auto Zone for about 12 bucks.....works just fine............but, you have to use an EL-12 electronic flasher.........
I've used the trailer converter for trailers before and they worked great. The motorcycle-only manufacturers say "don't use a trailer converter", but I don't see why not?? Why pay more if you don't have to?
What happens with the regular flasher? Do you remember how much the EL-12 was?
