   Hi
   Just installed my smoked jewel taillights
   When I select reverse, the passengers side bulb is really bright
   But the drivers side is very dull
   
   Any ideas?

    Rear fog light is in the cluster, one side should have an extra bulb.

    Just been outside to check them...
    There is only 4 'holes' in each tail light
    I've assigned them as
    Brake
    Reverse
    Side light
    Indicate
    
    And my lighting boards only have 4 bulb spaces on each?
    When I do my sidelights, then put fogs on I just get the sidelights :/
