Default 94 Accord headlight dim problem

I've looked up all i could online about the headlight fix but i'm still stuck i'm getting 11.75volts at the headlight socket and the ground connection has been replaced and i'm still getting a dim driver light. I'm so lost i 've used up all my options so if anyone could help it would be nice to have two headlights going down the road

I would trace that wire back to any connection that there is in that circuit. There's high internal resistance, so I'd check all the pin connection at the headlight bulb, socket, and other connection there is.

well i'm getting correct voltage at the pinout of the headlight socket. i check the ground connector and it seems ok. I guessed since the headlight socket is getting the correct voltage the rely under the hood is not the problem but from there i'm lost.

First thing to check is the fuse; yes, it can be the fuse even if it lights up. For the left headlight, check the #19 fuse (20A) located in the under hood fuse box.
