headlight is dim

[rocsfinestredline]

ill check the inside fuses a little later today i switched the bulbs at work yesterday and the same side stayed dim so its deff not the bulb ill check the other fuses and get back to you all this is getting to be ridiculous

It has to be a ground or corroded connection someplace along the line. That may require checking with a volt meter. Turn the head lights on and check the voltage at the hot side of the dim bulb. It should be 12+ volts, compare to other bulb. If it is the same voltage, it is a ground or connection problem past the bulb. If voltage is low, the problem is before the bulb.

ROAD TRIP... Just go 3.5 hours east on Rt 20 and you will be within 1/2 mile of my house. I could help you trouble shoot it.

ha alright ill let you know its tough getting enough time to actually fix the damn thing sense college just started

Electrical issues can be a bitch. You just need a decent voltmeter and methodically go through it to find the problem.

My old Nissan Sentra had a slew of weird electrical problems that I had to figure out and solve to keep the car running.

i messed with it before it got dark and nothing i unhooked the ground and the only thing that is affected was the parking light and the corner light the dim center bulb just stayed dim and i checked the fuse's again nothing.

If the bulb stayed dim, you did not unhook the ground for that bulb. The ground must be somewhere else.
