LED running lights - too bright?

[Dockem]

Can LED running lights be "toned down" by adding some kind of a resistor in line with the power wire? Any other suggestions? Obviously, I'm a bit electronically impaired.

I have 4 LED oval lights on the back of the RS and they are practically as bright as the brake lights, but not quite. I would feel better if there was more differentiation between them and the brake lights.

Thanks for any help.

You might want to try VHT Nite Shade paint. Auto parts stores usually carry it in spray cans. Make the lights as dark as you want.

I have Custom Dynamics LED's on the trike, the other trike and the Harley. On the trikes I used a TruFLEX dual converter. It convets single brightness LED's to running and brake lights. The Running lights are 30% brightness and brakes are 100%. I have lights on the Harely that were to bright so I just cunnedted the low sidew of the converter to drop by brightness by 2/3. They are still plenty bright. Here is a link, the dual converter is down almost to the bottom of the page. I have found Custom Dynamics to have great customer service. They will most likely advise you even if your lights are from another vendor.

Hmmm...I posted, then noticed a bunch of bad spellings. Tried to edit, but I got a message I can't edit more than a minute after I post. Should have proof read before I hit Submit Reply.
Please excuse the bad spellings.
