i dont understand. You mean the bulbs? What gen is this for? My light output seems to be "weak" also, doesnt shine the road up too good. I have stock headlights with Silverstar bulbs.

sorry to not be clearer
the headlights have there own ground to the body.
the battery has one
the motor should have one around the battery or starter on the tranny or motorj just follow the neg cable from the battery

look for corrosion or missing pieces or rust.
