Default help!! one foglight brighter then other after eleanor grille conversion

I bought and installed the street scene grille on my 06 and the drivers side is alot brighter then my passenger side. Any ideas? At first i thought it was an adjustment but after looking at it it is definately alot brighter. i used the extensions that came with the grille. please help!!! I am getting people flashing theyre high beams at me!!

I hope that does'nt happen to me. I just ordered a grille from Blue Oval industries. By the way, I see you are running 4.30 gears also. [8D]

I know it sounds crazy, but that may be the bulb about to go out... Had this happen once with a set of Fogs, on my Wrangler though, dunno...

I don't know the set up on the fog lights but on the older cars sometimes a dimmer light was because of a loose ground wire. Did they have seperate ground wires that bolted to the car by any chance if so check them.

Check the wires and connections because if there is extra resistance somewhere on the circuit it will be dimmer

Did you use a different set of bulbs? My buddy bought some Sylvania silver star bulbs and it looked like a giant cyclops eye. He put the stock bulbs in and everything was fine.

Sounds like the bulb is either about to go out or one of them is having a connection problem. I'm putting my money on the bulb about to crap out. I'd use this as an excuse to upgrade to some Silverstars or HIDs.

swap sides with the 2 bulbs. If the problem follows thebulb, buy new bulbs. If the problem is still on the same side, you have a ground or wiring problem.
