Posted this on here, maybe some of your gurus can help me out :)

Currently working on converting my taillights to entirely LED operation:

I got the 4017 sequencing circuit down pat, I'm just wondering if there's any way to make different levels of PWM depending upon the state of the light.

Right now I have:

a line that goes high for running lights <--should be about 50% output say
a line that goes high intermittently for LEFT signal (High for brake and turns off when signaling) <--sequences here
a line that goes high intermittently for RIGHT signal (High for brake and turns off when signaling) <--sequences here
a line that goes high for brake <--100% duty cycle say

Is there a way to combine this function all into one? I have 2 basic stamps at my disposal if it would require a program, but I'd like to do it in solid state.

Here's the schematic I'm working with right now (basically all of dave's Eclipse project combined into one circuit):

This is what I want, and because an animation is worth at least 100000 words (10 second animation at 10 FPS=100 pictures*1000 words per picture) so here goes(need flash player):

I have any combination of electronic parts available to get the turns to sequence and the brake lights to just go solid high.

Help please?
