    Hi Guys,

    I hope im not creating new threat but i couldnt fnd it anywhere.

    To be honest i want my car to look good and i didnt like that passenger side tail light isnt as strong as driver side. ( it was bit smokey).

    I have bought new tail light yesterday and i realized that this is better but still not the same. When i took both covers down i have realized that bubs on drivers side are stronger.
    I tought they are just better or newer so i tried change them. No luck - then i swaped them from left to right and it didnt help eaither.
    I tought the connection isnt good enough but everything seems to be ok.

    Would you have any idea what to do? Some problem with electric?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Also i wish to change all bulbs for some nice and strong which last for long any advice here also?

    Best regards,

    Branio

    might be a dumb question, but you don't have the rear fog light on do you? and that's what you're seeing?

    Thats fine i know lots of people dont even know basics. I tried to attached picture but dont know how it works.( i cant just copy that here. I took the lights down and you can see the bulbs on one side are stronger then other side. Im talking about the 2 on the top. I have spare bulb holder so ill replace this and see if thats helps.

    Pull both lights out have someone sit in car pressing the brake pedal (or wedge something to hold it, brick shud be enough weight) wiggle the wires, sounds like loose intermittent connection. Might want to follow the ground wires to there termination location and re attach that after cleaning the surface. Replace both bulbs aswell. Don't see how ones a lot brighter unless it's different wattage bulbs. I think 1156 and 1157 have a 10 watt difference.

    There's quite a few bulbs in the taillight, the bulbs can dim before they go out. Replace them or replace them all.
