In regard to the above bike.
I haven't noticed before, but only one side of the rear light bar lights up while running. While applying the rear brake the whole bar lights. Clear lights are always on.
Is this normal?
Thanks Al

Nothing installed on the fender. Harness looks fine. Do think moisture got in through the grommet. No components looked toasted. I removed the lens.
I suppose I'll check the resistors.

i am sure you can pick up a new one at most beta dealers, or chance it on amazon.
i use Sierra Motorcycle supply for most of my parts and accessories.

Thanks for the assistance. Replaced three LEDs due to moisture.

I used regular 2.5 volt LED's I had, Two red and a green. Drilled out the reflector.

I had searched online for surface mount LEDs before I just used what I had. I found the cost of replacing the whole assembly a bit much.
I haven't installed it yet but for woods riding I think it will be OK.

Results weren't great. The proper parts should be used.
