I was about to leave on a long trip and noticed that my headlights were screwed up...

When I have the headlights on dim, my drivers side is actually bright and the passenger side is dim and just the opposite for when I have them on bright.

Any ideas would be helpfull
Thanks

Some vehicles this is Normal Why because of the ground connections, and or the voltage drain through the wiring to the bulbs. Dont worry about this, just learn to live with it. If it is a bad bulb,? the bulb will soon burn out. Just have to see what happens. Have a nice trip.

My headlights do the same thing.

I changed them a few years ago to some aftermarket ones and just noticed that one of them shines brighter than the other.

Wonder if its the bulbs. Did you change yours too?

If that is normal, unfortunately the wrong one for me is the brighter one. Can I switch the connections?

At red lights, I like to use my drivers side headlamp as a spot light and reflect off the side mirrors on those lowered riced out 4 cyl lawn mowers after they have been racing around through traffic. You could call it my "BLINDING" protest to their driving stupidity......and poor taste in vehicles ;)

No animals have ever been harmed during this act.

Well I replaced both of the lights and I found out that the drivers side light was a 9007 instead of the 9004 that it should have been on this '93 model. Thanks for all of your help
