Default Brake light More Dim than the other???

Hey, whenever I turn my lights on, or even step on the brake, my drivers side tailight is a lot more dim than my passenger side. I have replaced all the bulbs in the left side and visually checked all wires for crackes and the such, but I just cannot figure out whats going on? The lights all light up, its just they are a lot more dim than the right side. Any ideas?

Mine had bad ground connections inside the bulb holders. You can get new ones or cut the old ones open, clean the connection and seal them back up. I cut mine and sealed them back up with RTV and they have been good for 3 years.
