[urq] Not elegant, but considering $40 LED Trailer light kit for my URQ.

Be careful with switching to LEDs ... they typically tend to be very directional ... the people right behind may see them, but not someone off to the side.  Try before you buy if at all possible.

I have to say I'm with Phil here ... improve the grounding and your lights should work fine ...except if perhaps you have blacked out lenses (a drive to Thunderhill with MSW many years ago comes to mind).  If you have blacked out tails get the light plates with dual filaments bulbs ... then you have two tail lights and two brake lights on each side ... of course then you REALLY need to make sure you have good grounds!

> Last time my urq was on the road was 2 years ago, but the rear turn
signals are weak especially when the headlights are turned on.  Brake lights
might also be 
weak - I forget.   My wife almost rear ended me when following me home from
a repair shop (2005) and I decided to turn into a gas station. 

Clean the grounds just next to the left rear light cluster.

My wife wanted me to turn into an athletic hunk with a six-pack.
