I just bought an 87 Honda Accord, And the drivers side headlight is dim. I thought maybe it was just the light so I swithed it with the passenger headlight and the driverside was still dim. Any suggestions on what this might be? Thanks for any info.

I see you're in Eugene... do you go to U of O?

Anyway, grab a multimeter and check the voltages getting to your headlight harness. Probably some sort of wiring problem since it still does it when you change bulbs.

look for a messed up ground. i had the same problem in my 92 when i installed my cai and had to remove a screw that seemed to be there just to hold things up.

No i don't go to U of O I just work here. I will check it with a voltmeter. When I switch it to High's it shuts off for a sec then comes back on but it's still dim. And with it raining here all the time is makes it hard to see.
