Default Rear Tailight Too Dim?

So i am driving on my merry way today, when i get pulled over by a cop. He said my rear tailights werent working?
I found this very interesting as i didnt get any notification or anything in my cluster? So i pull over into a shady area and he sees that my tailights are working, but they are VERY dim...I also verify this

In direct sunlight my tailights look almost non existent, except for the center one...This is the 1st time ive had this issue, are there any LED Lights or higher voltage tailight bulbs i can order? Any information would be greatly appreciated as i would hate to get pulled over again and again because of this...

Problem Solved: I figured i would post it, just in case anybody came across the same thing

So i changed one of my bulbs in Dec (but i ended up just changing the pair)
Apparently i bought the wrong bulbs. I had bought the sylvania 1556 when i should
have bought the 7552 (The difference is the 7552, has 2 little light flanges in the bulb)

After that, all is good
