The problem with the taillights is moisture inside the housing which corrodes the chrome coating on the inside. This chrome coating reflects the light from the bulb, and as it deteriorates it reflects less light. If you were to pull the red lens off, I bet you'd see black all over the chrome area. There are two sollutions: 1. get a new taillight; 2. pull the lens off and send the plastic to a plastic chroming shop. #1 is the most popular 'cause you can get a used taillight for cheap at a junk yard.

I have that problem only slightly on the left. People are always trying to tell me the corner bulb is out when it doesn't exist. The left is just slightly dimmer in the bottom left corner.
