So rather than lighting the bulb, the voltage from the low then feeds thru the base to the ground side of the high filament and back to the indicators, on a simple wiring harness. Since the flasher is out of the circuit, nothing happens but the indicators now have low voltage because it's back feeding thru 2 filaments which are acting as resistors, so the indicator lamps are dim.
