I bought new bulbs for my car but there weak (high watts) when i turn on my parking lights ?

Question

one side is weaker than the other i tried to buy even more bulbs but nothing. then when i turn on my full lights the parking lights go dimmer so the left side is way stronger than the right any ideas what this could be i even had to get spots/fogs because they were so weak

Answer 1

maybe the lens is faded.

Answer 2

If one light is dimmer then there other you have a Earth problem.

I would suggest trying a multi meter on each lamp to determine any voltage irregularity.

Warning dont fit any bulbs higher then the manufactures spec wattage as you will over load the electrical wiring. 55w max head lamp 5 wat side lamp

Answer 3

Check out the return.  Most cars use the bodywork for the return from the lamp clusters to the battery.  If the connection between the lamp cluster and the bodywork is corroded, the lamps will be dim or you may find the wrong ones come on.
