i bought aftermarket fog lights and installed them with their own wiring kit, everything is correct, as far as wiring. but my right fog light is dimmer than the left, and i'd like to know why?

measure the voltage to the fog lights, and check for good ground. My bet is on a bad ground.

If the problem is not with the wires, the light itself may be faulty. Maybe if you exchange it, they might work beter. Sometimes new stuff doesn't always work perfectly.
