Well, when I brake the light comes on. Is it the same bulb for running and braking tail light? if so, then this must be a fuse or wire issue, correct? Im getting into the manual now for the fuse location, just looking for some input.

It is a bad bulb:

Taillight fuse is #4 and is 10A.

I didn't even list the problem, my fault. The tail light is out.
But when I brake the light comes on. lol

So, the bulb is both running dimmer AND brake light... and I just need a new bulb. that's what 'm gathering:?

You are welcome :)

We knew because that 10A fuse protects the circuit for both filaments: if brake worked, then fuse was OK.

Fuel? you must be joking.

--I bought side bulbs, but when I pulled the side covers off, nothing in the slots.
Nothing behind it under the seat to support bulbs there either.

Eh, ill jus take em back. Saw them in the diagram and figured they were replaceable.

Any clever 'delete' thats been done to these openings and covers that looked slick?
