Dim Passenger Headlight
For some reason, my passenger headlight is dim. I replaced the light thinking that it was maybe going bad, but it is still dim. Any idea why this would happen? The driver side light is fine. Interior lights are fine. Everything else seems good. Thanks.

Re: Dim Passenger Headlight
Let me guess.... in addition to that, when you turn on the high beams, the right side goes completely out... right??
The ground for that bulb is bad. A connector somewhere is disconnected or making a bad connection, or the ground wire is broken or just off.
Follow the black wire that leaves the headlight socket and inspect it carefully, by the time you get to the end (it's about 10" long) you will have found the problem.
