Front or rear lights?
Water could be getting into the connector.

Clean it's contacts and seal the area from water getting in.

This is behind the meter panel that plugs into the harness.
Circled in red is the connector. The connectors circled in blue go to the LCD display (unless you have an Interstate).
There could be a small chafe in the sub-harness wire that the slightest bit of moisture allows the indicator to glow faintly.
Also check the connection where you installed the LED load equalizer.
Also do you have a service manual to show you the steps in disassembly?
The attached video will give you an idea of what is involved in getting to the meter panel, even though the video maker is dealing with speakers.

Sorry ... meant the connection points at the dim bulb's socket. Assuming there is 12v+ at the socket, in an incandescent bulb circuit, dim means there is a problem with the ground. However, it could be a ground problem in that circuit elsewhere.[/QUOTE]all lights have been changed to leds no incandescent bulbs. including the instrument panel. did not start until i changed to leds no load resisters as it has a electronic flasher for leds.
