driver side headlight is very dim????
well i searched and i found nothing!!!
what im driving 94 integra with a 98+ front... heres my problem is that my driver side headlight is not as bright as the passenger side and when i turn my highbeams on it shuts the whole driver side headlight off completely.. i tested the voltage right at the plug and its gettin about 8-9volts... ive changed the fuses, replaced the light bulb, checked the wiring for any broken or fraying.. i also changed out the light switch on the steering column as well.....
any ideas guys thanks in advance????

check the ground, make sure theres a good connection with no corrosion, if anything u mite need to take the ground off and wirebrush around to clean it up a little and reinstall.

Re: driver side headlight is very dim????
sounds like you have some unwanted resistance in the headlight circuit. 8-9 volts I think it would be the source voltage like 12 to 14volts. Right? After you clean the ground for the headlights, I would break the circuit in half mentally and do resistance checks throughout the circuits path. These all being done after the obvious being check first. I wouldn't get to deep into it yet.
