I have a 2006 Z06 with the eagle eye led tailights. My outside RH tailight is dimmer than the rest of them. Is there any fix for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You probably have them in the wrong spots.

Bet if you look from 10 ft directly behind the car there will be 2 that are dim (pointing the wrong direction).

Only thing I can think of is they shipped 3 of a kind or you have a bad resistor. Call the selling vendor. GL

Has to be the resistor then because it doesn't matter what angle you look at it it's still dim.

Have you tried swapping the two lights on the same side? If the problem moves, it' the light and if it stays in the same spot, it's the resistor or the connector.
