    Does anyone have original parking lights or know how to install the aftermarket ones. I bought a set from Dennis Carpenter and they don't fit

    Hello jniolon. I have a set on my truck that is similar to your picture. When applying my brakes, the right side brake light is faint compared to the left. I took it apart and l believe the contacts are good but it may be that the spring tension under the connector is weak. Do you have any ideas, thoughts on how to improve the connection?

    you might stretch the spring a little, but don't overdo it... mainly CHECK YOUR GROUNDS... They are nearly always the problem

    Normally I'd say use an ohm meter, but that's a long run to test between the battery and the negative wire at the light to test.

    So instead, check between the positive and negative wires at the light to check for a voltage drop.

    That'll tell you if there's a ground issue. Either way, it never hurts to have more grounding than you need. :)
