Taillight voltage problem
Okay, so long story short, I blew the LED's in my current taillight, so I tested the voltage that is being given off buy the running lights and the actual brake light. They both read 26v, arn't these taillights only made for 12v of power?
Just ordered another taillight and am trying not to put this one to waste as well.
Thanks!

My concern is how you're getting that much voltage in the harness in the first place.
I would take a look at the regulator/rectifier (r/r) and see if it is going out on you.
Look for heat damage on it and the wiring connector. Warped/melted plastic, burnt
pins, melted insulation on the wires, cracks in the epoxy-fill of the r/r.
The r/r should be regulating the voltage from the stator and if you are getting 26 volts
to your tail-lights, it doesn't sound like it is doing it's job.
