I had one of my head lights go out. I replaced them with LED’s and they work fine except when I go to bright lights only the right side is bright. Is this normal? I would think both lights should be the same. Could it be a bad LED light?

wiring on the LED might be interfering with the shutter operation.

I used some silicone to seal it. Thanks to everyone that came on it sure helped me fine the problem.Quote:
