So Ive got 4 aux lights on top my roll bar, all 4 have been working fine for about 2 years. Recently one quit working so i checked the wiring its good ive got power and good ground to it. changed the bulb still nothing. Weird thing is when I took this bulb and lens which wasn't working and tried it on the light to left and it worked fine. So I tried one bulb/lens onto the actual light that wasn't working and it doesnt work. Basically when the light is hooked up to power and ground nothing reads on my volt meter, but when I unplug either the power or ground I get voltage. Any thoughts?

Got to be a short of some kind in that wiring or connector where you're connecting the lights

I would say check your ground again, sounds like maybe a corroded connection that's allowing too much resistance.
