I've searched, and diagnose my car according to wat some of u guys said but nothing works for me. i already change my bulbs, fuse is also okay.
Had this problem for a while, just my driver side H/L (both low/ high, with or without foglights) it's kinda dim.
Here's some pics,

I hate wasting posts to tell someone this... Go to www.photobucket.com, create an account. Then go to the noob forum here and read up on the sticky that says how to post a pic. Then try again.

Okay lets use OHMs laws to diagnose your problem.
one amp will push one volt through ohm of resistance.
If your amps go up resistance goes down, if resistance goes up amps go down.
Simply put you have excessive resistance on the drivers side headlight bulb.
This can be caused by corrosion on any connector for the headlight, headlight bulb not making contact with the contacts.
Simply inspect all connections, inspect all contacts.
Your excessive resistance is bringing down how much volts you are getting to your headlight bulb, which is why it is dimmer.

IT would seem that you could have a corroded headlight connector or something along those lines. If you have a digital multimeter i would measure teh output from that headlight socket. Maybe measure and compare the Resistance, volts, current through both sets of headlights to compare.
I'm wondering in one of your pics that on the drivers side one fog light is out, if it's causing a problem with the headlight. I would look at teh og light circuit also.

exactly. you have a high resistance somewhere in the drivers light circuit. most common culprits are the ground wire where it hooks to the frame,and the socket itself

Yeah even the driver side fog is dim when turned on.
Could it be the relays? where the fogs and headlights connected?
thanks again,
