My headlights on dim have lost there brightness. When
I put the brights on the bright left front shines ok but on the
right light it is very dim. Could this be a battery thing, I have had trouble with this same battery before. It's cranking fine, so I would think it would rule out the battery. If it was a fuse it would fail completely, I would think.

I am going to trickle charge the battery up to a full charge to see if that helps.

Am I missing something.

Tks,

Dirtdog (usa B'ham, al)

Blown headlight bulb? Could be just the sidelight lit on the right hand side.

If your bulbs are intact, I'd look for a ground fault. Sounds like one of the ground lugs isn't... grounding, that is.
