One headlight on my mates Del Sol, replaced the bulb and harness's looked alright, so just wondering if anyone had a pic of where the earth is to have a look at, is it just directly under or beside like most cars? Or if there is anything else to have a look at to try and fix it.

Thanks.

You replaced the dimmer bulb with a new bulb and it was still dim??

Is it heaps dimmer? Or just a tiny bit? Try looking at it at different angles. Sometimes when the headlights are adjusted differently, they look like they are different brightnesses.

It's worse if you fit HIDs because they look slightly different colour until adjusted perfectly (not recommended because that'll mean you'll blind everyone, or have both headlights pointing down).

Also, try switching the bulbs around. See if the brighter one changes sides. If so it's the bulbs. Make sure when you change them, don't cheap out and only change one. Change both to the same bulbs. This makes them both the same brightness and they'll last about the same.

Good luck!
