Question Drivers side rear blinker and reverse light both light up and dim?

Okay so long story short. Just got my car back from body shop. Whole car got painted. Front bumpers, lights and sensors all detached including the back. I just reinstalled my rear lights and when I use the left turn signal my blinker including the reverse lights light up but very dim? My right turn signal works fine? Any thoughts anyone?

Look for a ground that didn't get hooked back up, a problem with a terminal at that rear lamp or a bulb that got jumbled up in the process. Meaning a double element bulb got put in a single element spot or vice-versa.

Cheers,

Check all the fuses for the rear lights. that sounds symptomatic of a blown fuse for early s-types, don't know if the later ones are similar.
