Its been a long time....headlight question?

Whats going on guys? Sorry I have not been visiting the forums like I am sappose to! I have been hella busy moving to a new spot that has a garage so I can do my swap and yes that was the main reason for moving. Anyways how have everybody been? There is so many post that I have to catch up on. Okay now to my question.... My headlights are all f'ed up. One is brighter than the other and some of it doesnt work. I mixed them up and I took the brighter bulb off and put it on the dimmer side and soso... the dimmer side made the brighter bulb dimmer?!? and the brighter side made the dimmer bulb brighter??? I am so confused

check grounds relays and fuses. chances are that the reflective surface on headlamp bowl is just worn or hazed over. the only option you would have in that case would be to replace the whole assembly.

Wiring. Upgrade. Now.

Relays and bigger wiring really do wonders.

Its not the bulbs because I just bought new ones and they did the same thing, so I returned them. My fuses are fine, where are my relays?? Another thing... My left inner head light is not getting any power on regular on but when I turn on the high beams it gets power...

Okay nevermind I figured it out! I grabbed a beer and a small chair and sat in front of my car thinking real hard, I noticed the passenger side harnes had a new plug so I followed the wire up the the harness and who ever installed the plug got the wires all fiicked up. So I rewired it and it worked, thanx anyways guys.
