So when my headlights turn on the driver side is dim high beam and low beam and the passenger side low beam is normal but low beam is dim and my high beam dash light is dim and when i click the high beams on it turns off the driver side headlight but the passenger works fine. When I unplug the driver side the passenger dim high beam goes away. If i unplug the driver side the passenger then works like normal. My question is if anyone has had this kind of problem and know the solution or might have a pretty good idea. Dont mean to sound lazy but i really dont want to track down the wires through the fender :(

Usually the bulb is messed up. This happened to a friends Honda, swapped new bulbs in, no more issues.

Try swapping the bulbs out from the passenger side to driver and driver to passenger.
 
forgot to mention i also swapped bulbs out with my friends and it did the same put hids in and the hid just didnt work on the driver side, where would the ground for the headlight be located? inside the headlight assembly?
 
Then check all the wiring coming from the headlight assy to the harness. Something is cut/shorting/corroded.
