Default 2000 T/A headlight issue??? Any suggestions??

Ok I just recently finished my build and got the car out for break in on Monday. Fast forward to last which was the first time I took her for a cruise at night. On my instrument cluster I noticed that my brights icon was just ever so faint and thought that was a little strange. Pulled up behind a car and noticed off the reflection of the car all four headlights were on but the left 3 are really dim I did replace the headlight gear as well during the build. Wouldn't think that would affect anything considering I reinstalled everything back the way it was from the factory. Anybody else have this similar problem?? If so how do I remedy this issue? Could it be a ground issue?? Thanks guys for any info!!

Yes it is probably a ground issue. Take a look at this thread.

Definitely. There area a number of sources where these ground problems can pop up.

You probably have the motor connector corrosion issue as was in the link above. Please post back with what you find when you try the connectors. (And look inside them.)
