Idiot lights....to listen or to ignore

I noticed about 12.8 volts going to the tail lamps, I assume that would
Be fine?

Did you read the voltage with the bulb out of the socket?

No that was good, I checked the voltage on my front turns with the bulb in and got 12 volts.  When I replaced it with a LED the LED melted with the 24 volts.  The 102C3 that I have has a resistor in line to drop the voltage.  The LED didn't put any load so no drop in voltage.

Ok. Got it. I think I'm ok then because it was 12 volts without the bulb in so it must be true 12 volts. I want to upgrade to LED rear lights so this is good to know
