Martin,
Three things you migh want to try.
1) Get new bulbs
2) Using a fine sandpapaer, get off all the oxides on the socket and
bulbs
that have accumulated over the years
3) The new brake lenses are made of thinner plastic (from MOSS). I don't
know if that means better or worse. But the brightness, and
therefore, the difference
in brightness when the brakes are applied, will be different. I had
to buy
a lense because New Jersey DMV flunked my '72 TR6 during inspection
for the reflector
portion of the lense didn't reflect enough light.
Hope this helps,
Jeff N.
