Sorry, I'm not very good at explaining things.
Ok I'll use an 1157 tail ligh bulb as an analogy, the bulb has two positives and one negative.
I'm aiming I have one positive be 50% brightness and the other positive at full power, while sharing a ground.
But let's get the LEDs working first.
The reason I am confused now is why the LEDs light up when connected directly to the battery but as soon as I put the circuit between the battery and LEDs they dot work and I blow a transistor. If I hook it up to a power adapter it works great wired the same way as to the battery, the transistor doesn't even warm up.
Would changing a resistor or cap value change this?
When I get my new parts from dk I'll just make a new one to e sure I did it correctly
