    i had aftermarket lights inside my car, they eventually started to dim so i finally ordered some new led lights thinking that my old ones were just burn out. so i put all my new ones in and same thing there all dim still? idk where i would start to look because theres obvisouly power but its not getting full juice i think.

    any suggestions?

    thanks - luke

    ok so its not the lights them self
    im already confused

    so next would be alternator, fuse's, grounds, wires
    maybe something with the bcm, like its not sending enough volts to the lights
    what about the light in the glove box and visor(if you have them)

    i would lean more towards maybe a ground for the bcm that came loose or got smashed or something that could mess with it

    I vote ground.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
