one bright one dim why ?

[canman]

hi everyone . i just installed a new light kit on the used trailor that i bought . it never had lights or any wire on it at all . anyway i installed the lights the way it said to .i hooked the trailor up to my jeep and turned on the headlights to see how the trailor lights worked . the left light works great , thr right one is real dim , i thought it might be a poor ground so i ran the ground over to the left light no difference . the right light has a white for ground a black wire that goes to the brown wire and a yellow wire that goes to the green . i cant figure it out . am i doing something wrong . thanks ..

Usually the wires are as follows:

Green wire to right
Yellow wire to left
Brown wire to both side for tail light
White wire is ground.

Suggest you ground both left and right lights seperately.

Take a look at this diagram and double check your wiring.
Also make sure if the bulb is a dual contact its in correctly.

Dual filament bulbs have a bright filament (stop/turn) and dim filament (running). You have the stop/turn filament connected to the running light circuit. Swap the two wires on that side and you'll be ok.
