Dim passenger head light

Hello-
I have a dim passenger head light, with no volt meter. I have replaced the bulb and ok the batter out looking for the ground wire everyone talks about, but cant locate. I did clean the battery ground, but that didn't help.

It should be over by the PCM and airbox. It's G106. See this post. Of course, that may be wrong for your year. That's why you should always tell us about your vehicle when asking a question.

That ground is probably your problem, and if it is, a headlight harness won't help.

(It's a great idea, but if one headlight is good, and one is bad, it will be the same after a harness installation.)

Also clean the socket itself. CRC Contact Cleaner is really good stuff.
