Default Front indicator not very bright

Hi,changed the bulb on my front passenger indicator(chrome effect)but when it flashes it's not as bright as the other side. I have recently removed the washer bottle to fix headlamp washer pump, could I have disturbed an earth but also I have noticed the bulb holder is a little corroded thanks steve.

Hmmm,the n/s bulb blew so i bought a pair of silvatec chrome bulbs frolm Hellfrauds.When ive put the bulb in i noticed some corrosion on bulb holder,anyway i put the new bulb in and it doesnt flash as bright.
I will swap bulbs over and if it makes a difference i guess the proble lies with the bulb holder,cheers steve
