Got some used Litronics and having problems - output dim & they don't always come on

I went ahead and installed the 2nd litronic light and went for a little test drive last night... Again I am not impressed. Output is *maybe* 75% of what I had with the halogens.

I am going to pull the bulbs out and take a look at them today to see if they are exhibiting any sign of aging and if I can get a replacement bulb locally I am going to try that.

PS I really though that these Litronics were going to be significantly brighter than my stock halos. I am wondering if maybe they are not and I just had the wrong expectation going in?

The Lits should be significantly brighter than the halogens; check your grounds as a weak ground will cause the Litronics to act up.
