States of activety:
(Lights off)
TS on: Skull eyes flash
Brakes on: Skull eye lights bright
Brakes + TS on: Skull eye lights bright
(Lights on)
No input: Dim eye lights
T/S: Skull eyes lit dim, but eyes flash bright
Brakes: Eyes go bright
T/S + Brakes: Eyes lit bright
This is the reason we put a resistor in line with the marker lights - we wanted a difference between signals and just plain lights.
The resistor makes the marker lights dimmer than a brake or turn signal light.
The problem here was that the same connection was supplying power from the turn, brake, and marker lights. We had to reduce the current from the marker lights using resistors. This brought the voltage down, so it reduced the power.
Putting it simply - one of the inputs had to be reduced (the markers). So we limited it. The others are straight 12 volts.
If we did not limit the juice from the markers, they would be the same intensity.
- I hope that makes sence to you
