Default Dim Low Beam

Hi guys I know I should post this in the lighting section, but the general section gets more traffic. I just noticed that my driver side low beam is unusally dim, and my high beam seem to be compensating for it and running as on low wattage. I don't know if anyone has come across this issue before, let me know if you guys can help.

Try swapping the bulbs to see if it does the same thing.

might just try to replace the bulb. the passenger side looks like it has a Sylvania SilverStar bulb or something like that in there and the driver's side looks like it has just a regular bulb.

Thanks for the input fellas, I'll try to switch the bulbs around. They're actually both Sylvania's but like I said the light output just went dim.

your parking light is only on in the drivers side headlight, not sure if that has anything to do with anything, try cleaning the outside of your headlights (with toothpaste) to see if that helps any, might just be extra dirty inside the driver's headlight.
