ACCEPTED

Thanks.

Check the grounds along the rh side of the fender area. Loosen and tighten all the grounds. Also check the plug that plugs into the bulb, I've seen these have a poor connection. Wiggle the plug, and all the grounds while you have the lights on. This way you will be able to tell if it is a ground or a wire concern.

Thanks
