Default one dull headlight...

One of my headlights is dark orange (on brights and dims). So i changed the bulb, no change. Checked all the fuses and they are all good.... Any ideas why my drivers side headlight is so dim, im out of ideas....

I'm assuming you'd be able to tell if the headlight was fogging up? If not, then I think it could be a wiring problem as well.

The wiring is all stock and not tampered with, the plug in to the bulb looks kinda corroded tho could that be the problem? How do I clean the connector up inside? Headlights are clear not foggy..

the green death!!

take the plug out and clean it, use a little wire brush. to scrape it off, check the inside of the female plug aswell and clean it.
