Unhappy dim tailights????????

i managed to bump into a wall when plowing the other night, both of my back up lights blew and now my taillights are really dim. Replaced the reverse lights, they work great, signals and brake lights work fine. All fuses and bulbs check out.

should I prepare myself for a round of the tried and true "trace the wires" game or any other gremlins I should look for?

there is no rv or trailer wiring on this vehicle.

the truck is a 94 f250 4x4.

A lot of times the grounding is the culprit. Start there and check everything exposed or what might have been chafed.
