Rear indicator not as bright as other one

[jesus]

I've checked all the bulbs etc., nothing wrong with those.

My right rear indicator is dimmer than the rest, and has even stopped working completely a few times. I just mess with the wiring (move it a bit) and it's fine, but it's not as bright as the others so I'm thinking it's a wiring problem.

Anyone else had this, or know what I can do to make it the same brightness?

Cheers.

I had this. Was water getting into the connector at the rear of the light as the light housing wasn't tight enough to the body of the car. A scoosh of WD40 and a good clean up of the connector solved it.

it does it without the light housing on...

where abouts is the connector (silly question i know) and what do i spray? might as well give it a go!

other than that, it's probably new wiring. anyone have an idea how i can get this/how much it'll cost? cheers

Check you have same rating bulb in each side.
Check multiplug connector for clean connection.
Check earth.

cheers, i know it's not the bulbs so i'll do the above tomorrow. if it's something like new wiring needed, how much would i be looking at approx? a lot?

I'll use this thread to post a related problem, when I reverse the reverse lights are fine but when I apply the brakes the brake lights get noticeably dimmer, the fog light and turn signal try to kick in but very dim...the dashboard lights do the same....

Am I right if I start looking at the rear lights housings and connectors first?

Upon inspection everything was dry and clean, I only spotted a slightly melted ground pin on the stoplight housing end, nothing big just a tiny bubble...now it's fine, I'd like to know if this means the earth is dodgy somewhere...
