odd taillights on LTC

[bigdog]

Several times when we've been taking the MH to the shop,the DW has said that the right side taillight isn't as bright as the left one and I would check and couldn't see any difference.Well tonite as I was checking the lites before my trip tomorrow,I looked and couldn't see any difference again,then I went and put a brick on the brake pedal,DW is in Kauai,and sure enuff,it's the brake light.Pulled the bulb and it didn't look right,so I treplaced it with another and that didn't look right either,went to the book and checked the bulb for it and it's a 3457 and not a 3157 that was in it.Okay,replaced it and put it back together again.Still a difference,so really looked at the lenses and finally figgered that they were both marked LH and the lenses on them are the same,except that the one on the right is shaped correctly.. So what gives??? Had to give the DW kudos for that one...

Check the left bulb, is it the correct one? Also make sure that the front parking lights are correct and then, last but not least, check the grounding with a jumper wire. The wattage has to correlate with all the lights and if grounding isn't good the other light will draw off of the other and they don't like to share (that's what my wife tells me, I don't share).
If I remember right. the LH does not stand for left hand.

Have checked and 1 person says he thinks that they were off of a ford van.It looks as if they are shaped the same and there are two left lenses,one on each side and not a left and right.

Durn,thanks Richard... I thot that lens looked familiar 'cuz the last time I saw one was when my old '01 "EX" was going down the driveway pulling my old '05 Cougar TT that I had just sold to a really nice family..
