Ive been doing some research about this and have come up with a few answers. I figured I would ask on this forum and see what is told.
I'm making my rear-of-car harness from scratch and am trying to figure out how to wire the brake lights and tail lights. How do you keep the tail lights dimmer than the brake lights? Is it the fact that the tail lights provide 12v and illuminate one filament and when the brake peddle is depressed, another 12v illuminates the other filament? Or do I need to integrate a diode inline with the tail light wire.
I will be running the tail lights and head lights on the same switch/circuit. the brake lights are on their own separate 12v circuit and peddle switch. The lights are factory pre 89 tails with hand made harness and sockets.
At this point I have the brake lights, head lights, signals and four ways working, just need to integrate some tail(running Lights). Thanks for the help
