Corner light problem

I put some piaa 1156 extremes in the corners. On the right side it is already bright and when I put my turn signal on to go right and it is already bright so it doesnt get any brighter. The left side corner is dull when I dont have the turn signal on. I think it is a wiring problem but it will be a pain to trace it. Any suggestions?

sounds like you may have the bulb in backwards unless you did the re wire mod only on one side. try to pu the bulb in there another way. you may have put a single filament in there.

Yeah thats what it is the sides use 1157's but unless you trim the little prongs off the 1156's they shouldnt go in the holders properly. There for the bulb might be just burn out. Bc Ive gotten a bad bulb from them before and had to reorder some more.
