Hi Guys,
hope someone has come across similar, and may be able to help?...i have searched, but nothing that resembles my problem is listed, yesterday my rh headlamp became significantly dimmer than the left one, i changed the bulb, swapped them around, tried swapping the bulb connectors over, but it is still dimmer, it functions the same, but at about 60% dimmer...any ideas?
thanks in advance

check the voltages @ the harness and the bulb socket, could be a short somewhere

ok, thanks, so if i have a voltage drop, i have a short? how would i trace it?
thanks

watch the gauge, shake the harness.

Also if your ground is weak, it make dim the light.

Yep - thats where I'd be looking

Make dim the light? I thought we already had a Yoda on this board

I didn't get it at first... then I cracked.

i have this problem too, but the cause of mine is pretty obvious...My right lens is very foggy, while my left is clear. The light coming through is not only a difference in how much light comes through, but the color of the light as well.
I know you can take the lenses off by baking them, but i'm waaaay too leery of that to actually put my headlight into the oven...as a side note, is there any way to get it off without baking them?

Well i found the problem the parts store sold me a 24 volt bulb! it threw me for a while, but i finally checked the bulb! so all is well again...for now

LOL!!! that explains it.
