Default Headlight issues

I ordered these headlights a while back and they finally came in the mail today! I installed them, and turned them on...the passenger side works great, just as advertised. But the driver side is dim, so i switched it to parking lights only, and it works fine. And when I turn on the headlights, both filaments in the blinker illuminate and the projector is real dim. It seems as if the headlight has somehow become wired into the blinker or something. i don't have the slightest clue when it comes to electronics, so any ideas or help would be really really appreciated. Thanks!

do you have it wired like the side that works? Try moveing that light to the side that works and hook it up to see if it still is dim.

Just switched headlights...still the same issue. The lights are TYC so the probability of them being faulty is slim-to-none. The lights i had on here previously were equipped with halos and i had to splice them into my blinkers. The power wire for the driver side blinker was a little rusted, so i stripped it off and got new wire. Think this would have any effect on the ENTIRE headlight system?

Found the problem...thanks to the help of by best friend Andy (s/n Zulu) who replaced my water reservoir the other day. My headlights weren't working simply because there was a little box in the headlight harness that wasn't grounded. I feel kinda stupid now...
