Driver side headlight and parking light bulb went out. Had both headlights and parking bulb replaced. About three days later the driver side bulb went dim. Took car back and they replaced bulb but it still stayed dim. A couple of days after that the parking bulb went out. Any help you can give could be appreciated

Wiring needs to be checked. Look for melted plugs at bulb and the ground for headlights needs to be checked. A bad ground is usually the culprit with a dim bulb
