Default Dimm Tail light...?

my right tail light on my sol is not as bright as the left one. I changed out the bulb but its still the same? could this have something to do with the wire harness on the taillight?

have you checked if your socket was all the way in? i've noticed this on my hatch once and went to check the socket and lo and behold it wasn't clicked in.

i twisted it back in and it looked fine again. i doubt it would be a harness issue. when u step on the brake, do they light up equally bright? also, you wouldn't have any kind of moisture or mold or whatever inside the housing to cause it to not reflect as much light?

My hatch is the same way, but it's not the bulbs, it's my motor! I run rich, and the smoke "stains" my taillight pretty quickly. Depending on what mods you have, couldn't see if you had an aftermarket exhaust in the pics.
