As per title my passenger side brake light is dull tried a new bulb but still the same any suggestions???

Did you check to see if the contacts had any sign of corrosion ?

Sounds daft but maybe trial swap the good one to dull side..........that way you know it's something other than bad bulb &/or bad replacement.

Good thinking .....not just a pretty face are you matey lol

Mensa material me & a pretty face ...... NOT

Just to add unless yours different to mine....... you can swap out the holders too.

likely to be water ingress into bulb holder

The contacts do burn away on the holder .....that's what caused mine

I had same problem with mine kept in blowing lamps so I bought after Market led Ones much better look

Not wishing to go off topic but offering word's of caution re aftermarket l.e.d. / led tail/stop lights.......some arent bright enough & might event result in a rear end moment if braking hard on a sunny day.

Light unit had a bit of black where the contacts of the bulb holder sits cleaned it up
And managed to get the bulb holder to sit where it's getting a contact. Going to get the sparky at work to run a bit of solder on to it so it makes a good contact on a bigger area. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Does your car live outside by the way?

Is that 'sorted' painted led's or 'sorted' cleaned the led's off again?
