- If the lights seems to be somewhat dim, it could be that you have a bad
- ground in the taillight assembly. Check to make sure that the ground
- wires are making good contact.
-
- If the lights are full brightness, then the insulation between the wires
- for the taillights and the backup lights is bad. Good luck finding it.
