Question LED turn signal question...

Need help please. I have Alloy Art front and rear led turn signals. Noticed that my left front is just barely lit up. So I know power is getting to it and also the turn signal works but like I said, barely noticeable. The right front and both rear are fine. I've had these on for 2 years now with no problems until now. I just don't know where to begin to try to locate the problem. I am hoping that someone on here can help me or if this happened to someone else with the same problem. I know nothing about led's. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance...

check for a poor ground on that light. also check to see if your getting full voltage on the positive wire. You could also try swapping the signal to the other side to see if its the led itself.

I switched the led's wiring around. The same thing. So I ran wiring from the leds themselves to the battery and same thing. Just about can see it lit. I believe it is the led light. I tried calling Alloy Art to see what they say. Waiting for a call from them. But thank you for your helpful advice...Thanks again...Ray...

If you tried to wire them directly to the battery and they are still dim.
The problem is with the LED's and not your bike.
Good luck with Alloy and let us know how you make out.
Might be nice to know how they treat customers with a problem.
