Alright so I have a 90 integra and my passenger lights are dimmer than my driver side lights, I've checked the bulbs and fuses and all are good so I have no idea what's wrong. Now if I go to turn on the heat or air, the passenger side dims a lot more. And I've noticed that the light for the right blinker in the dash is sorta lit when my headlights are on. Any idea what's up and how I should fix this? Thanks for any help

check all your ground wires...it sounds like a loose ground

Well I looks and have no idea where the ground wires are, although I did find out why my driverside foglight didn't work. Any help as to where the groundwires are?

It could be the ground or the supply. You need a multimeter to properly diagnose the problem. With the lights on, measure the voltage difference between the positive on the light and the positive battery terminal. If there is more than 1V difference, you have a bad connection. Repeat for the negative side and the ground.

Pretty sure it's the ground to my battery looked at it and it had blue stuff around the terminal and check the rest of the cable and noticed it's corroded pretty bad.

Edit: changed the groundwire for the battery, only helped a little, headlights still dimmed though, any other ideas?

That is a problem, however it would not explain the dimming of only one headlamp.

yeah i've checked with a voltameter, and it actually appears to have both the high and low beam on. and they're both getting about 3 volts to each. i thought it was the harness because we put one pieces, but when i put the other ones on it did the same. it's somehow effected the heater as well so i think some got crossed somewhere.

Are the headlights grounded? And if so where are they grounded to? And also, I noticed on the left headlights there's what appears to be a groundwire coming from it but it's not attached to anything, any idea what that is.
