Hope all are well here. On my RTV900, I replaced the rear original lights with some nice led's. I added a turn signal switch and flasher as well. The lights all work but are very, very dim. Put a volt meter on them and only getting 10.5 volts. Connections and ground look good. Any suggestions?? Thx.

Laredortv900, I had a problem with dim tail lights once and it was because my grounds had paint and/ or rust under the contact points. I scratched the metal to make it clean and bare and then they were normal brightness. (This was a livestock trailer though. )

Same difference with rust, dirt, crud, and stuff around the ground connections of the bulbs and how the ground wiring connect to the light fixture itself.......There are several types of LED bulbs and fixtures out there so cant comment about what exactly is going on but my money is on the ground connections.......God bless, Dennis
