2006 Passenger Tail Light Dimmer Than Driver's Side

Has anyone experienced this and know of a fix for it? My passenger side tail light is dimmer than my driver's side. Jerry was the first one who noticed the difference while a bunch of the Houston members were heading out to Kurt's shop for a dyno day almost two years ago. DOH! I keep forgetting about it for obvious reasons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Sterling

Maybe somebody replaced it with a lower wattage bulb?

+1 This is my initial thought.

If you pull the fog light switch out 2 clicks it turns on the rear fog light which is only the driver side, and it will be much brighter than the passenger side.
