Default Off side headlight dim...

Hi all, i have a problem with my drivers side headlight. When on, its not very bright. I have changed the buld but it made no difference.

Has anyone any ideas what it maybe? Please be aware, i am a biff when it comes to electrics....

Cheers for any help, Smudge

Question

Sounds like either a poor connection somewhere, or a poor earth rteturn path.

I'd be looking at the headlight connector for signs of corrosion, then tracing wires back to find the corroded/poor connector.

BTW: is it the same on main beam and dip, or brighter on one than on the other?

If it's both, I'd defo suspect the earth.

Cheers for the replys, could well be the connector as all the rubber protectors are missing. Will change that first and hopfully that will fix it!

Cheers, Smudge
