    I was driving over the weekend when I noticed the high beam indicator was on but very dim. I got home, found that all 4 lights were on. I have an 04' WRX by the way. At first my driver side headlight was flickering, my passenger headlight is lit as normal. Still both my high beam lights were lit but very dim. I took out my headlights, replaced the bulbs and followed all wiring to make sure there is no corrosion or any of that sort. Cleaned off the connections, positive, and ground for the h1 bulbs. After doing so, the driver side light no longer flickers but now it is very dim including my high beam light. On the passenger side, main light is bright like normal but high beam is still dim. When I turn on my high beams, then my driver side headlight goes out but my passenger side high beam lights up as normal.

    Basically looks like passenger side has all the juice. Anyone ever had this issue before? Can anyone help me out?

    Thanks

    Do you have the foglight mod? Do your foglights stay on with just your parking lights?

    Can you take a pic of the connection to the bulb? Or explain where the black and red wires in the dust cover go, I put in an HID kit and can't remember now.
