Anyone else with one foglight more dim than the other?

mustangmanic · April 28th, 2009, 04:56 PM

Well I just got done changing out my foglights, cuz my passenger side was much more dim than the drivers side, it sometimes even flickered on and off...

Well That didnt solve my problem! what could it be?

Sounds like a bad ground or connection. If it flickered on and off then it was probably due to vibrations making the contact bad. Bad connection would cause there not to have as much voltage also which would make it dimmer than the other side.

i'm gonna go check that actually...

One of mine is a little more dim, but I have no idea if it flickers or not. They are brand new also. Odd....

I had that problem with my headlights. It was my aftermarket luminics bulbs from AM that roasted and melted the bulb connector because of the increase of heat in aftermarket, brighter bulbs. (I now have hids after that nightmare) Dunno about foglights though. Take out the bulb and check if your connector is melted in the center?

could "seem" like its dimmer if it was facing more down than the other. Just a thought.
