Assuming nobody's changed your 21w bulbs for 5w (or directional cheap LEDs or whatever other fashionable rubbish), then all you need to do is make sure the bulbs aren't old and blackened, the reflectors are clean and haven't lost all their silvering, the wiring's not corroded and dropping voltage, and the lenses are clean.

Make sure you check it with the bulb connected or you won't see any voltage drop, if there is any.
