My problem is my drivers side headlight glows dull .passenger side is fine.thought it might have been a bad bulb but i changed them side to side and both bulbs shine in the passenger side.ANY BODY HAVE ANY IDEAS.
P.S.all other light work fine.working on 72 Chevelle.

Had the exact same problem on my '71. I bet if you wiggle the wires around on the back of the connector it may temporarily work properly. Check the ground, that is what it was on mine, made the light shine very dull.

Definitely check your ground wire. I had that problem on my 72 a long time ago. Wiggled the ground and everything was OK again. Good luck!

Remove the connector from the bulb and clean the contacts. That fixed the problem on my 72 Malibu.
