[Supras] LED in rear lights - Supras don't like

[Eric Boeck]

Pretty much LED's don't burn out.  (Well, unless you put ONE across 12V
without a limiting resistor.  Purty colour for half a second tho.).  I'd
think you don't need the burn out sensor.  As per the thread a couple weeks
ago, disconnect H1

=64.  Should disable the light on the dash.

I suppose with the resistor, the dash light *would* indicate a wire break or
bad connection, if you put the load resistor right at the light, and a
resistor at *each* light.

They don't pull the same current, hence adding a resistor. You would have
corrected me Geoff ;)
