Tail light question with pic

What would cause the two closest taillight bulbs to the license plate be brighter then the others or maybe the others are dimmer and should be brighter ??
This pic shows just the parking light switch pulled also at one point the bulbs were lit all the same but for some reason now they are not lit the same brightness ?

I have a 76 esprit. Her are my lights with parking lights on. yes your bulbs are either incorrectly installed or not he correct ones. also make sure the sockets are not corroded. I had the tail panel off and this car diassembled down to nothing. i rebuilt everything. My wire harnesss was original and is great shape and reused. I have included a pic it also.

Is your brake light switch stuck in on position? I would check that.

check what green said, sounds like brake light switch stuck or like renovation said wrong bulb in wrong socket, possible a loose ground as well

I had a problem that caused my passenger side to be dim while the driver side was perfect. Swapped the harness and all is well. You could have a short in the wiring or more likely a bad connection in a socket.
