Hello,
I ran a search and tried to figure out what i was trying to do, but I dont even know...
but let me explain...
I am looking to add led bars into the following to accent my current stock tails. I would put the leds verticle in the slots.

There would be one on each side. They would act like the "line of fire" leds you see on most trucks nowadays. Blink, brake and run.
So what i figure is hook up the tails on a resistor so they light up dimmer, then hook up the brake and turn on a lower ohm resistor so they light up brighter.
Is that correct? or is there an easier way?
I'm looking at buying these
