What do the schematics show?

Quoted from Matthew2015:

i still think they should be brighter so i will look more into those connections.

Did you ever verify voltage at a socket? And by verify, I mean reading voltage across the two wires AT the connections on the actual lamp socket. As opposed to one lead on a machine common point, use both DMM leads at the two connectors on a lamp socket.

Quoted from ChrisHibler:

It would not surprise me if the OP finds that the heat shrink was used in lieu of solder.

Quoted from Matthew2015:

it looks like the solder attaching the wire had broke off the connector so the only thing that was keeping the wire in there was the shrink wrap.

Like ChrisHibler said.

Glad you got it.

I would not rely on a spade here. Over time, as it heat cycles and vibrates, it could become loose and generate more heat, which will make it more loose, etc. Properly soldering it would be the best way.
