Default JDM headlamps - help with wiring problem

Just picked up a 92 CX that has the JDM headlamps.

I noticed that with the headlights on, the driver's side low beam is very dim, only about half of the power of the passenger side. When I flick the hi-beams on, the passenger side works as it should, but the driver's side lights up the amber corner brighter instead of lighting up the actual headlight. I put brand new bulbs in to eliminate that being a possibility.

Any ideas?

sounds like a ground issue. make sure that side that is malfunctioning has good grounds. Make sure there is no resistance in the ground line, if there is ground the wires directly to the nearest part of sheet metal.
