I dunno what the tail light pattern is, but I dont think i can do the every other row thing.

the taillight is thin compared to most cars, and id want it to be fully lit.
i need to examine one up close, but im pretty sure its a sealed unit.
also i remember seeing a method of doing the dual intensity with 2 sets of resistors. I dont know how they did it, but 2 feeds into a resistor each, then they converge into 1 row of leds. (with multiple rows of leds) my question is how big are the resistors?
oh also, i hear you cant judge how bright the LED is simply by its MCD? I'd probably prefer wide angle leds with as bright as possible?
and if its a multi coloured tail light, should i get red for the red part, and amber for the amber part, or should i just get all white?
edit:
http://keld.eu/led/index.htm found the dual intensity method.
i dont know how to read schematics so can someone explain how they did it? thanks.
