Hi all,
I'm wanting to look again at making a set of rear lights for my car as I'm picking up a spare set.
I'm not changing lenses so I'm planning on just running white LEDs throughout.
However, I'm looking at these light strips as a nice easy solution to mounting the LEDs.
So, my thoughts then turned to the brake on/off scenario.
Would I be correct in thinking that I'd need to run a resistor on the feed from the "lights" so that the LEDs run at a reduced power? How would I then switch this to the "correct" feed when the brakes are applied?
I'm new to this sort of stuff, but like to think I can learn quickly.
These are the LEDs I'm looking at. Anyone know what the difference is?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
