A vehicle lighting system includes a first LED, a second LED, a mode switch controller, and an electronic switch. The first LED is electrically connected in series with the second LED. The mode switch controller is electrically connected to each of the first and second LEDs. The electronic switch is electrically connected to the mode switch controller between the first and second LEDs. The electronic switch is configured to short circuit the second LED in a primary mode, and to remove the short circuit in a secondary mode. The mode switch controller is configured to control the electronic switch to short circuit the second LED in the first mode, receive an input indicative of the secondary mode from a vehicle controller, and in response, control the electronic switch to remove the short circuit.
