Many taillight assemblies are equipped with bulbs with dual filaments, one for tail lights and one for brake lights. If you have one bulb with two filaments, then the problem you describe sounds like the brake light filament in the left bulb is burned out but the tail light filament is working.

Which light is brighter Metal Halide or mercury Vapor?

Metal Halide lights are generally brighter than mercury vapor lights. Metal halide lights produce a higher quality and more natural light, making them a popular choice for outdoor lighting in stadiums, parking lots, and other large commercial spaces. Mercury vapor lights tend to have a bluish-green tint and are less bright compared to metal halide lights.

Because they reflect light


Why would lights glow brighter or dimmer when running a large appliance?

the lights would grow dimmer if the large appliance draws so much current that the resistance of the main electrical service conductors to that current causes a service voltage drop. less voltage means less light. one reason the lights might grow brighter when the large appliance comes on is if the rest of the household electric load (other than the large appliance)is mostly connected to just one of the service conductors, with the large appliance on the other service conductor and the service neutral is marginal or undersized. the neutral carries the unbalanced current of the two service conductors so, without the large appliance on line, the neutral is carrying a large current and the resistance of the undersized neutral to that large current is causing a voltage drop all the time, so lights are dim all the time. when the large appliance comes on line, the unbalance is reduced, the neutral carries less current, the voltage drop reduces and the lights brighten.


Can you see the stars in sao paulo?

Only at night, and outside. Although Sao Paulo has the same problems with seeing stars as any city does; the city lights are so bright that you can only see the brighter stars.


Why would a business choose fluorescence instead of incandescent lights?

A business might choose fluorescence lights over incandescent ones because fluorescence lights are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, and can produce a brighter light output. This can result in cost savings on energy bills and maintenance expenses for the business.

How do I make my hid lights brighter?

There is definitely a way to make your HID lights brighter. To make your HID lights brighter, you can purchase and install xenon projectors or specifically designed reflectors. You also have the choice of upgrading your reflectors to halogen headlamps to make them even brighter.


Why are your dash lights are on in a 1992 Volvo 240 and get brighter when you rev the engine and dimmer when you brake?

You are experiencing a voltage regulation problem. If you look at your headlights during that rev period, they should appear brighter also. The taillights, during braking, load the electrical system and therefore, drop the voltage and cause the lights (all lights, they are most easily noticed) to dim. Go to an Advanced Autoparts store and have them test your charging system for free.

Why does the brake light stay on in a 1999 dodge stratus?

Brake lights could stay on in a 1999 Dodge Stratus because of a short in the wiring. If the headlamps are off and the brake lights are still on, check the wiring for the brake lights that is inside the trunk. Sometimes cargo in the trunk can interfere with the lights.


What type of circuit will produce brighter lights is it series circular direct or parallel?

Parallel connections will draw more current than equivalent lights connected in series, so the parallel configuration will be brighter.

Why do the driver's side boat trailer lights work for both turn signaling and braking however the passenger side is very dim and can hardly be seen?

There are two causes to this problem. Either (a) the braking light is out, or (b) there is a problem in the wiring of the lights. Check that the lamp socket is clear of corrosion and that it has a good ground. An ohm meter will be useful. Frequent immersion in water can cause connections to corrode.
