Dim Driver's Side Headlight

[spg356]

Greetings,

'98 Boxster 5 speed 80k miles.

My driver's side headlight bulb is very dim in the low beam setting, but the high beam works fine as does the flash to pass. The right side headlight works fine in both low and high beam. The plastic housing is not discolored nor is it pitted any more than the right side.

I did a search but only came up with threads where both headlights were dim and most answers were about checking the HL switch.

Any ideas? Could it be a ground or a bulb? Any thoughts on where to start are greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Bulb. Easy way to check is rotate the high and low beam bulbs. Instructions in the owner's manual. Problem follows bulb, then bulb. Doesn't then housing. Buy two as the other is about to go and start out again with 2 new bright ones.

Thanks Mike! I'll buy two bulbs tomorrow.
