The left side head light bulbs come on dim when the head light switch is turned on. The right side lights act in a normal manner. I have replaced the high and low beam bulbs,and the head light relay but I still have the same problem. Please advise me on what to do next. Thank you, Leo

Check voltage at both connectors with a multimeter, but it sounds like a bad ground/connection in the system.

Also clean both connectors with an electronics cleaner and use dielectric grease on connectors.

Inspect wiring harness to headlight for any worn insulation.
