LED Side Markers
I just recently bought some LED side markers for my car and after installing them, they light up, but they are not as bright as they're supposed to be. What could be causing the LED lights to not be brighter?
Here is a picture of my side markers:

I bought those same LED lights.
They just aren't that bright. I had a standard smoked lens at first with LED bulb and then switched to these. The standard was MUCH brighter but I like the way these look. They are still bright enough where they are clearly seen so I didn't mind too much.

The brightness is dependent upon the LED itself. You can't /force/ the current LEDs to be brighter, you would need to find a different sidemarker that supplied a higher-grade set of LEDs. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend any. Good luck!
