Hello,

The headlight can be dim if there is not sufficient voltage to the connector.
This can happen due to faulty wiring. Many times, it is due to a weak ground.

First check for voltage to the headlight connector. It should be 12V.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached the wiring schematics for the headlight below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
