84 H/O. LEDs everywhere including headlights. All rear lights work great. However, front marker lights are extremely dim (barely lit) and my LED headlights are not working at all. Anybody experienced a similar issue? Thanks in advance

Everyone is going to tell you to check grounds first, they are very finicky in our cars. Depending on which LEDs you are running I had to repin my setup for them to work

Yeah, I'm thinking I may need to add some grounds to make it all work. It's just weird because all of my rear lights work fine but these cars are extremely finicky...

Your rear lights are working because the rear ground (trunk, driver's side back corner, hidden by the carpet) is good.

Your front lights may be malfunctioning because those grounds (one for left, one for right) are bad; book calls them G102 (Behind LH Lights) and G103 (Behind RH Lights). May need to do hand-over-hand tracing of all the wires. LEDs are also polarity-sensitive so if grounds are good, may be worth experimenting with "reversing" a bulb in a socket.
