Yes, swap the bulbs and see if the left fog is now a little brighter.
If so replace the dim bulb. They are manufactured to +/- 1% wattage
tolerance so not all bulbs are the same.
If the right fog still seems dim when you switch the bulbs, check
voltage at the light sockets with a DVM to find the cause of the voltage drop.

I see from your sig picthat you have a PP with a GT style grill.
Who did your wiring and how confident are you with their wiring
skills? Twisted and taped connections are a big no-no.
Solder and two stage heat shrink as Ford does is the only way to go.

mm.. i actually installed the grille myself and the fogs hooked right up to the factory PP wiring. it was just a matter of plugging out the old PP grille and plugging in the new one.

Mmmmmm
Its a bulb gone bad.
Where did the bulbs that you are using come from?
Ford?
Or cheap aftermarket save every penny bulbs?
