Hey everyone. I'm having an issue with my 90 lx. The drivers side headlight and corner marker are dimmer than the passenger side. All bulbs and lenses are brand new. I'm thinking a weak ground. Any ideas? Any idea where the ground wire would be? Thanks in advance.

mine does the headlight thing but not the marker light. Its the plug that goes in to the head light. I need to replace it it has a bad ground contact.

The ground is a 16 gauge black wire that bolts to the radiator mount brace. It is about 6"-8" inboard from the group of bolts that secure the fender.

jiggle the connector to see if if the light geat brighter, if so u got a connector problem. u could take the pins in the connector andpush them closer together so the will make good contact on the bulbs, versus buying new sockets
