LOL! Too funny toot.
To set this bit...
For example:
The default value for CV49, Headlamp control is 15, but change this to 2 for a Mars light. The effect is there, but not very vibrant with an LED, as you’d expect. Add in 128 (128+2=130) into CV49 and look at the mars light now.
Adding 128 to the settings is the key here. I hope that makes more sense?? This sets bit 7 in the decoder by adding 128 to the setting value. This does not change the output voltage to regulate for LEDs, so resistors are still required it just changes the way the decoder handles the effect so it looks better with an LED.
