I had a headlight gremlin show up and I am kind of stumped. All the bulbs are new and I included pics to help illustrate the issue. When I turn on my headlights only the passenger side low beam is bright. All the others come on and they are dim. When I turn on the brights the passenger side light up as designed and the drivers side goes out. I was thinking bad connector but I thought I would check here before swapping them out. All the bulbs are new. I know I can't be the only one who has had this issue. Any thoughts?

It is a bad ground

Hmmm...any ideas on where to start hunting. Not real familiar with the wiring for the headlights.

Do you know where the harness is for both headlights?

No, I didn't dig to far into it tonight but I'm sure I can find them.

There is a connector under each headlight. Going into each connector there will be one black wire running to it, that is the ground

Thanks bud. I'll give it a good look this weekend. Just poked around after work but it was already dark and 1000% humidity. Just wasn't feeling it. Basically swam back into the house. Hate the f***ing summer here sometimes. Thanks for the help.

This is the connector where you will found the root cause. You need to disconnect this and clean it up.
