Default dim blinkers

so i got my sidemarker installed...
the problem is the driver side front corner and sidemarker is really dim when it blinks (the rear blinkers are fine) and my passenger side blinks just fine. so i changed out the light bulbs but still... same problem anyone have any idea what could be wrong? i'm thinking the wiring is fucked up somewhere but haven't had the time to check it out.

Did you check your ground connections?

I just messed around with my sidemarkers recently. What type of bulb are you using for the sidemarker? I'm assuming it's the same small little wedge peanut bulb ( i don't know the technical name ). Also, check your connectors. Real electrical plastic connectors do wonders compared to crappy electrical tape splicing. Also, how are you wirering them? Currently, mine are set as turn signals only, so they blink at the same time as the bumper lenses. But for awhile, I had them as running lights with the headlights, and then alternating back and forth with the turn signal.
