...that driver side taillights are sometimes dimmer than the passenger side taillights, when illuminated at night? most common on 88-89 CRXs. but now i'm starting to notice it on my civic. time to replace the taillight gasket? i think its the moisture and dirt causing the dimness. i've seen some cars with their taillight half full of water hahaha.

Yeah i did just notice that yesterday. I was wondering if it is the bulb or not. How can I fix this? I have no moisture around or in there what so ever.

 

check your ground wires. make sure both taillight assemblies have a solid ground.

 

change the bulb and tell us if its different. i dont think its a bad ground, but maybe.

 

2 different bulbs will cause this to happen. i have a xenon bulb in drivers and regular one in passangers. xenons are brighter but burn out quickly for me.
