LED Bulbs
I just purchased a RoadMaster Light Kit #155 to install in our Jeep Liberty dingy, can I use a LED bulb that is said to replace the 1157. The RoadMaster Kit uses one bulb for brakes, tail and turn si...

Anthony,
I doubt the problem was low voltage. Usually LEDs are fine with low voltage, but you often need to limit the current on the circuit by adding a resistor.

I see your point... had not thought of that. However, one of the tests I performed was to check the voltage at the end of the line and it was around 10.6 volts. I managed to increase that a couple tenths when I cut out about two feet of excess wire that the RV manufacturer had tied to the frame during conversion but it was not enough.
The relays were a last ditch effort that seemed to work.
