The nearside stop light on my D3 is dimmer than the offside, Ive tried a new bulb and even an uprated one but its still dimmer.
Im guessing that theres a bad connection or contact somewhere,
Can anyone point me in the right direction to start looking. I started off with nothing and Ive still got most of it left.

Try gently bending "outwards" the contacts in the centre so it makes better contact with the bulb, also check the plug and earth connections are secure.

Turned out to be the bulb was fitted the wrong way round... didnt know there was a right way!
There are two nipples on the bayonet cap at different levels...I thought it was just the missus who had that  I started off with nothing and Ive still got most of it left.

try renewing both rear stop lights at same time. The resistance of new and old are different and so one will be brighter than the other. Near enough 40 degrees South!!!
