John:

In addition to dim bulbs there is also the possibility that the inside of 
your lenses are a bit grimy and the reflective paint has peeled off the 
concave bulb reflectors.  I removed both tailight units last summer, cleaned 
the inside of the lenses, and repainted the reflective surfaces with 
reflective paint.  It made quite a difference and I definitely felt more 
visibile.  The left side lens was especially dirty since it gets hit 
directly with the exhaust.  FWIW!
