Default Rewiring headlights!

Inspection time is coming up and I have a few issues with the headlights on my passenger side!
-First off the passenger low-beam is super dim! Checked the fuses under the hood but they were good. I went to a junkyard yesterday and snagged a couple of low beam connectors went home and rewired it but it was a no go. I was thinking about just going to autozone and grabbing some wires and just rewiring my passenger headlight to my driver side since it still works. Does this sound like a good band-aid fix for the time being?

-Passenger bumper blinker will not blink. I changed the bulbs got new connectors and everything but its still not receiving any power I guess. Driver side blinks with no problem. Do u guys have any suggestions as to how I could go about fixing this problem?

What yr of accord? Check your ground packs for good connection, they're usually located behind the head lights on the fender well. if it is unmounted it can issues like this.

This is something I will have to keep an eye out for if any similar issues arise in my 90.

YOU DIDNT SAY IF YOU SWAPPED BULBS. WHAT IF ITS JUST A BULB. AS FOR THE TURN SIGNAL GRAB A MULTIMETER AND SEE IF YOUR RECEIVING POWER AFTER THE FLASHER. DOES THE FLASHER CLICK AND CLICK WHEN YOU TURN IT ON? IF IT DOES ITS A WIRING PROBLEM AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RIP THE TURN SIGNAL HARNESS TO FIND THE BREAK
