Rolled the window down enough to pass him licence and registration. Goes back to car for about 5mins, returns to teel me a brake light is dim. OK, give me the ticket and we'll see each other in court, and I just paid your county/state an inspection fee to say the light is not dim less than 15 mins ago. Disgruntled nigger said, no ticket, just check it out when you have time, have a better day. Wtf is that supposed to mean?
The brake light either works or it doesn't, I've never heard of a dim brake light - and "dim" is a relative term. Not like this nigger carries around a photometer to measure the illuminance of brake lights.
Now the plastic housing could be damaged in some way, but automotive bulbs don't really dim. If you have an older car, you could check the ground connection of the bulb if you do think it is dim. But I am talking older than 20 years old.
The only time I have ever had a problem with dim lights is with trailer lights, and they are notorious for having grounding issues. Never with a vehicle.
Bad grounds can be hard to find. Especially with steel frame trailers the exposed steel to make the electrical ground connection rusts over time. If you ever have to re-wire it, I suggest screwing a copper or aluminum plate to the bare steel with some anti-oxidant paste that conducts electricity in-between the plate and frame (up near the coupler). I used an old CPU heat-sink component for mine.
That way all your lights won't go out if that ground is bad. Get a plug connector for which ever style you have that lights up to test it too, those are handy.
I rented a tow dolly once and gave the rental place hell for not having the lights working and having to repair it. He came back with a smart remark about trailer lights failing all the time. They will work well if done right.

About to get a trailer myself. I'll keep an eye out for this. Though I could easily fix most electrical issues myself.
