I'm not sure what you are asking buddy, could you rephrase and i'll do my best to answer.
you have a red wire and blank wire on each bulb can you link them i.e. red on one side black on other black to next bulb (2) then red to next bulb (3) then black so at one end you have one red on bulb 1 and a black on bulb 3

Thats wiring them in series which will effectively reduce thd current through each lamp - dim lamps.

Hi Fellas, Im a newby!!! Ive had Sunny for 5 day now & Ive had the same issue, the only difference I get dash lights until I start the engine! I think I'll be going with your mod so can you let me know where you got your LED lights with the spade connectors on from?
Cheer Mark.

Sounds like a different issue to me, check your earths first. You'll find those on some crown shaped things behind your fuse box. Clean them up and make sure there's no dodgy wires/connections. Best to start with the simple things first!
