Default Dim Fog light

One of my fog lights is very dim. I replaced both bulbs at the same time and I have one that is normal and the other that is dim. Anybody have any ideas?

Check the relay in the engine bay fuse box, this may have come a bit loose. If not go get a test light or an amp reader and check the power and grounds on your fogs.

does it have a relay for each side? the driver is bright as day but the passenger is yellow and dim. i never understood it, but it looks really gay.

Just a random guess, but the wires going to the dim light, are they in good condition, or maybe theres a cut, melt, or corrosion somewhere.

Check the plug for corrosion. I had that happen on a headlight before. Shined bright after that.

thats what the tester light is for.


the engine bay fuse box only has 1 relay for both foglights but if its loose it may affect only 1 light.
