Question New led tail light question

Had a question , I added some 1939 tear drop led tail lights to my flareside for a custom look , pics in gallery . They work fine except passenger side is much brighter than driver side when lights are on and passenger side blinker is very faint in rear when lights are on . When lights are off blinkers work fine , does anyone know why one would be brighter than the other and why I can barely see the blinker on passenger side when lights are on ? My fronts are perfect , the old lights were brighter on the passenger side rear as well and my grounds are clean .

MIGHT BE WIRED SO THAT TAIL & STOP ARE BACKWARDS AS STOP IS a LOT BRIGHTER THAN TAIL LIGHT
