I just finished soldering new grounds into the double brown ground wires to the lamp sockets, filing crud off the contacts, applying electrical grease and using existing headlight assembly mounting screws to attach new eyes to the farm as extra grounds. This solved my "weak LED when lights on" problem but did not improve my turn signals. I may have to look around under the dash for that. It also could be the result of installing a newer foil on the cluster a little while back, but the turn signal indicator light was working until recently.
