Icon2 DC2: Tail light question..

So just recently I've noticed the passenger side tail light on my 00 Gsr seems to brighter then it should be.. its as bright as it should be while applying brakes, though I'm not at all. Even though I never have to see it, just knowing its like that drives me insane!!!

Any ideas of what it could be or how I can fix it?! I've tried wiggling the bulb and made sure its installed properly but my attempts to correct it havent worked yet.

Any help is appreciated

I would switch bulbs with other side. If the driver side is bright then new bulb, if not then not sure.

i have seen alot with the wires cording in the plug where the taillights plug in. mostly the ground causing no lights or dim. get some electrical contact cleaner undo the plug and clean it up. when putting back together make sure to push the plug tight. i have had this happen on 2 of my tegs now. also make sure ur taillight seals are good because thats where most of the moisture comes from.

Got to agree with moaterboaink1ng, swap the bulbs and see if the bright side switches or stays on the same side, if it switches it is the bulb, replace it, if it does not switch it is the socket ot wiring to the socket. 94
