I noticed the lights flicker when I tighten the screws. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 85 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 85 | Yes.
We all fight the rust but, a little bare metal between the bezel and the body is a good thing. The light will do strange things as amperage increases with a poor (high resistance) ground, such as when the tail light AND turn signal operating at the same time; the tail light filament will dim and the turn signal filament will barely glow.
Good luck

I recommend a ground strap from frame to bed. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 5 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 5 | Thank you for your replies.
