Maybe quick, maybe stupid but my question is:

I have a pair of 3 wire LED's that I want to hook up a certain way. The led's have low power and high power. Now I have them hooked up to the stop lamp and turn signal lamp. My issue is when the stop lamp is on and I am using the turn signal, it isn't as bright as if they were on by themselves. The low power comes on for the stop lamp and the high power blinks. I want it so that during a stop the blinker on the side that I want to go will blink at full power while the other side the low power will still be on as a secondary brake and vice versa. The only reason why I want it this way is that it does this in the front but obviously there isn't a stop lamp circuit up front. Hope this isn't too confusing.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are saying here.

I would think the "bright" light would be the brake light and the dim light would flash for the turn signal.

Do you have two seperate lights?  More detailed information will help us help you.

Thanks for replying kevin.

they are a pair of Lollipop Led lights with 3 wires coming out of it. Now i used the bright LED for the turn light because you can see it much better. Plus the dim on the led used for the brake light is only a suppliment to the main brake light.

I don't have full internet access here, so I don't know if this is what you actually have, but I would guess that you have a ground wire, a wire with a resistor, and a wire without the resistor. I would think that you would ground the ground wires(duh) and then connect the resistor wires to your brake wire, and the non resistor wires to your turn signals.
