Little wiring issue....heres the symptoms.

Left and right turn signals both work....however the right side isnt as bright and blink slower than the left.

Flashers work but again the right side flasher a bit slower than the left and is not as bright

Tparking lights.....left is on but none on the right.

Any ideas?

Have you verified that you have a good ground to the right tail light housing?

We need more information.   Are you bench testing them?   You say that you haven't got them wired up yet?        :shruggy:

When I saw Tpark I though tail light parking lights.

I wouldn't be trying to trouble shoot with the tail lights not even hooked up. Generally a single burnt out bulb = improper signal function so can't imagine not having the tail light harness connected at all is going to help!

Ya only the fronts are installed.....guess I shouldnt jump the gun till everything is connected.....thx guys !

Fronts and rears are independent systems... no need to get rears connected to get fronts propperly working.

Everything points out to a deficient ground at right PL socket. Mostly sure you will be able to spin the socket from the back into the housing being loosen. If so you can try to spin it a bit more untill maybe feel it tight and will work propperlly. Then get a screw driver or even a rachet socket about the same size of the bulb socket and smash the bulb socket lips againts the housing getting it tightened again and will be nicelly grounded against the housing.... make it on a bench, to held the rear section of the bulb socket and be sure about will fit tight again

the only stuff able to change having the rears hooked up is the flashing speed. Having less bulbs ( just the front one allong with the cluster pilot light &/or hood/fender turnung light ) will get less load to make the flasher work at the correct speed. It can be either faster or slower than the regular flashing speed
