Bubble Tail Lights In, but one Problem.

I have the bubble taillights in but there is one problem on the drivers side. As shown in the picture the drivers, right light is too bright and then when I turn on the left turn signal the drivers side left bulb blinks too bright and the other bulb blinks too dim. I thought maybe it was a loose connection so I double spliced the lines to clear up any connection problems. Still does it. Then I even replaced both the bulbs and it still does it.

I guess I just need to order a new bulb socket to replace the orginal and then splice into it. That's the only thing I can come up with, a bad bulb socket. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Clint

You could just turn left every where you go....

Sounds like a crossed wire somewhere.

Is there any chance you have the "dim" bulb in 180 degrees off and the wrong element (the parking light element) is lighting up. Of course, if that were true I guess that one parking light would be brighter than the other.

Thanks guys, I'll try swaping those wires. I followed what the diagram had that came with the kit. I should of just tossed like what was stated in the bubble light installation thread.

Thanks!
