Exclamation bright lights.

Hy guys, i have a strange problem on my 1991 4.0 v6 it seems that all the drivers side lights, headlamps, tail lights and indicaters are a lot brighter than the left side lamps and i cant find out why, i am thinking it maybe a bad ground on the left side lights but would that not effect the right side as well? any surgestions would be appreciated.
Cheers cbr900

Yes, it does sound like a ground problem, and I do think that they are side to side differant.

Do you have any more info? I'm not sure about one of my grounds, it's by exhaust manifold on passenger side, not sure of the factory grounding location.

I'll second that suggestion. You may have an 1157-type bulb with the filaments shorted together.

Cheers,
Eric
