Did you try swaping the bulb left to right and vice versa? Or is your lens of the headlight just too dirty that you need to replace it? Is the bulb half-burnt that have a black-ish tint on it?

I think mine has the same problem... one side is slightly dimmer. It could be the wire itself... getting weaker on one side. I wouldn't mind upgrading my wiring harness to something stronger too, to be able to handle higher wattage bulbs since that's what I got in there now.

You need to change your fuse. Check the fusebox under the hood.

Which one of the two fuseboxes is it?

You sure wiring harness doesn't need replacing?

umm...which side is dimmer
if its the driver side then i think its normal.
im pretty sure its because when u drive at nite if the brightness was the same it would get in the eyes of the drivers driving the opposite way....
cuz my friend drives a bmw and their headlights are slanted driver side is lower than passanger side....
i could be wrong
