so if you were to comply a car that hasnt been registered for a while, would i "have" to leave the dimmer switch in to comply?
Yea the diagram I put up is in parallel. I said if the dimmer doesn't work with the lights in parallel (because it's a variable resistor that only has a certain range) to use a series circuit so the line resistance is increased from all the bulbs.
