Default lighting problem

Does anyone know why my passenger headlight is dim compared to the other side and my turn signal will not turn on when my lights are on? My turn signal will turn on only if I don't turn on my headlights. Also my signal light in the rear looks like it is on...not blinking. Thanks

replace the bulb. it's most likely your front blinker bulb. pop it out, take it to autoparts store and get a new one.

If one side is dim and the other is normal, it may be a problem with a relay

OR, the headlight may not be grounded correctly. I once removed the bolt that holds a plastic piece with a metal tab where it bolted to the body and a bunch of wires coming out of it. I couldn't figure out why one headlight was really really dim while the other was just fine. Turns out I forgot to put that plastic piece back on and that it had a metal tab because that was a gound. h:

Did you do anything right before you noticed it was doing what it is?

hih
