I have a 07 Chopper and noticed the rear Left Tail Light is dim... but the Blinker and Brake Light work fine... as well as the Right side works fine.. any of you guys had this issue?? Or have an idea what the problem may be???

Take a bare wire, somehow take that wire and touch the ground or the base of the bulb socket; then the other side of the bare wire; touch to ground of the frame so this makes a new ground. If the light brightens, then bad ground at the bulb socket on out to the next wire connection. So basically you are jumping a ground to run a new ground to see if this brightens the bulb.

Franco.. I may not have the answer you are looking for, But I do now have a fully functional LED light... All I did was push in all the connections at the Battery Box and pushed the connection at the LED Board.. and BAM!!! it was working when I fired the Ol' Boy up.. My guess is the connection had worked loose just enough to loose the full circuit signal...
It may be a fluke and happen again...If it does I'll be sure to follow up with and new information...

I posted this fix several years ago...

How far back away from the bike are you viewing the rear light brightness?

It may not actually be a LED or ground issue but rather an alignment issue. These LEDs that are used are high brightness output and probably have a 15 to 20 degree viewing cone so if one taillight happens to be tipped DOWN (on mount bolt) or UP too far compared to the other then it may seem dimmer. Stand about 20ft back and adjust both left and right side taillights to get similar brightness.

If this doesn't help then there is another problem.
