"passenger side headlight...what is wrong with you?"

[KARR]

Well... here's the situation,

I just noticed last night that the passenger side headlight was dim. Gotta love it. Driver side was normal. This morning I swapped the bulbs of one side to the other thinking it was some bulb and POW! same thing...nothing changed, passenger side still dim....looks like if all the bulbs were less bright than the driver side. I did a search here and nothing specific came up. Ideas anyone?
Any help would be very appreciated. By the way, the car is still stock everything and automatic.
-'95 Gst, with 79,109 (more less) miles on it.

Thanks in advance.

Try cleaning the inside of the headlight lens.

my dad's driver's side light on his 98 talon did this. if i jiggled the back of the bulb just right it would work normally, then it would wiggle back to shitty while driving. i swapped bulbs back and forth and even bought new ones and notheing ever really fixed it.

Check the fuse contacts and grounds. Make sure a connector isn't corroded inside.

First of all, thanks for the reply guys.

Today (at night) the car's headlight was by surprise working normally. Don't know for sure what fixed it but the only thing i recall doing during daytime was connecting a new ground wire for the plug and cleaning the connector (which was one of the recommendations). Must of been that or the car has a life of its own...which i sometimes think is true. I did notice that on the inside of the headlight (top of the bulb,low beam area, passenger side) the reflector was/is beginning to get dirty as if seeming to get rusted (?) *trying to describe* hehe, I guess thats what I get for loosing that screw cap thing that seals the back of the headlight. Crap. I'll think of something for that.

Thanks again, and take care people.
