The right stop light "shines" MUCH brighter than the left. I've checked the bulbs they seem fine? The warning bulb out light is on but all the lights are working.......wth ?

 

When the modules are out of the holders is one brighter then the other? If you are by yourself use a stick to apply the brake while you go look. If one is brighter, you need a new bulb. I believe it is a 1156. The warning bulb will go on if it isn't the correct bulb as well.

 

just bought new bulbs,,,,nada

 

seems strange but I finally went to dealer and bought all NEW OEM (french) tail light bulbs at 6,50 each hahaha worked like a charm, even though the old new bulbs were the proper size and type. weird isn't it

 

Good to hear that. I went through the same thing, which is what I meant by "correct" bulb.

 

Looks like an issue of ground. Check the ground wire connections for the dim light.
