Default left headlight isn't fully powering.

I have a 95 civic ex sedan. I blew a fuse for my headlights. So while i was putting a new one on i picked up new headlights and a headlight wiring harness. After i hooked it all up. The right headlight looks awesome is fully powered. But my left headlight is barely lite up and i can't figure out why. Can someone help me?

dito like everyone said tho.LOL

quick way to test... pull the BOTH bulbs out and swap them.... if the same bulb is weak... than its bad.... but if the other bulb gets dim on that same side then its the wiring...

i had a very similar problem with my 94.... previous owner put on some of those LED washers sprayer things with some quick conect crimp things and those ALWAYS cut quite a few of the steel wires which can destroy the current flow.... my bulb was VERY lit..... i just cut that spot and put in a new crimp conector between the wires, taped it up and it worked great afterwards!
