Sounds like maybe one side has a better ground than the other side. Clean the side that's dimmer and see if that helps.

It could be an optical illusion too. Sometimes when sitting in the driver's seat, it looks like the passenger's side is dimmer. Try parking it close to a wall or garage or something and seeing if they're different. Just an idea.

Are your headlights properly aimed? Your passenger side might be aimed higher compared to the driver side which gives it that look that the passenger side is brighter...

this question is pretty vauge....

when you say the light is dimmer, is it dimmer from inside the car, or outside (looking at the lights)?
