Side Marker lights not as bright as they were yesterday

For reasons unknown, my side marker lights are really dim when they are on, but when the turn signals are on, they are bright like normal. They just barely seem to get enough voltage to make light. Can anyone help me out in identifing the source of this? P.S.: if it helps, I have a Clifford alarm w/ remote start.

Well, I think that I figured out what the problem was: LED lights that I installed use less power and make them dull.
