Foglight question...

So when i bought my Max, the fog lights didn't work (blown bulbs). So i got some new bulbs today and came home, installed them, etc. When i turned them on, the first thing i noticed was the driver's side foglight is not as bright as the other. I figured maybe it was a bad bulb, so i went back to Autozone and exchanged it, installed it, same thing. I was just wondering if any of you guys know what the problem may be? I doubt i got 2 bad bulbs in a row.

Also, aren't the fogs supposed to come on with the parking lights? The reason for this question is because my foglights only work if the headlights are on? Any help is appreciated.

my fogs only come on with the headlights but mines a 99 i dont know if that makes the difference or not. for the dimmer fog, could it be that the lens has a lot of road rash on it?

You have to rewire them if you want them to come on with the headlights. I'm not to sure why one is brighter then the other, check fuses, relays, and clean/add grounds. But it's prolly not the fuses or relays.

Idk if this will work with 95 but this is how to rewire the fogs. http://www.vqpower.com/v2/modules.ph...showpage&pid=6

Hmm...Nope both of the lenses are in fairly good shape.
