Hi, Check The Ground To The Right Front Headlight, Remove Headlight, Look At Connector Make Sure Three Wire Connector Is Not Burned Or bad connection.If Ok ,Take A Jumper Wire ,Go From Battery Ground To Black Wire On ThreeWire Connector. If Headlight Get bright Then. Then You Need To Repair The Ground Wire To The Headlight.On The Three wire Connector , One Wire Is Low Beam , One Wire Is high beam ,And Other wire Is Ground. You Can Run A New Ground To The Body Of The car If Needed,

Good Luck,
