High beam, low beam, or both?

    Passenger side

    I assume passenger side works normally. Does the drivers side headlight remain dim regardless whether high or low beam seleted?

    That is impossible to tell when the high beam is on....No?

    Ok... I understand my confusing the issue.

    What i'm asking is; Cmpare the general intensity of the left lamp to the right lamp when high beams selected.

    Then switch to low beams and again compare general intensity of left lamp to right lamp.

    When you select low beams and compare left to right intensity the driver side is not as bright as the passenger?

    The purpose of the exercise is to determine if the issue is common return (ground) of the driver side lamp assembly or the source path of the driver side low beam.

    I believe it is not a ground issue since driver side high beam is blinding you :)

    I'll attempt a solution and post later.

    The Juke has separate fuses for L/R low beams, so we'll start there.

    Step 1.a.1) Swap the low beam fuses. Engine compartment fuse box 1, F13 and F14.

    If you don't have a fuse diagram see following URL

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.autogen...


    Step 1.a.2) Check low beam intensity.

    Step 1.b.1) Swap fuses F13 and 14 again. (That's right... put the fuses back where they were)

    Step 1.b.2) Check low beam intensity.

    Now I expect 1 of three things to have happened.

    1. No change in L/R low beams.
    2. Its fixed.
    3. The dim low beam swapped from driver side to passenger side and back.

    Let me know results.

Check the plug that plugs in to the globe, bend all connections a bit smaller so it goes in tight. Had the same problem on my car and it was a bad connection. Also check the ground wire /connection might be broken off.

Check wire connectors and ground make sure wires seam to be in good condition and light socket also. If you want to make sure you did not buy a bad bulb swap from one side to the other if passenger side is then dim you have a bad bulb, One more thought make sure both bulbs are the same.
just my thoughts.

SOURCE: one headlight bright, the other dim

For some reason, Toyota chooses to wire their headlamps differently than domestic cars, with dual fuses for the headlamps, and a common ground for each headlamp...The reason that the lamp was dim is the bulb was getting power thru a "backfeed" condition, due to the poor ground. The fuse may have blown due to the poor ground, also.

SOURCE: 2000 mustang headlights are dim

Check the headlight relay.Little plastic cube about 1 1/2" square,usually black or dark brown and white ink numbers printed on top.Bottom has blades sticking down into the wire connectors.Location will either be under the dash or under the hood,not sure exactly about mustang There will likely be other relays in the same location,and many times you can match up two relays with the numbers printed on top,and swap the relay with say...the wipers' relay,just to see if it is a bad relay.Cheap ($0) and a check worth doing
I hope this will solve your issue.

Good Luck.

If my solution proves useful please accept it.

The driver side headlight is dim. This is caused by loose
ground contact of the headlight ground terminal. Have
a check on this by tightening it up or reconnecting to
good ground (chassis).

How to change the low beam headlight bulb in 2015 Juke

If you will buy your new bulb from a car parts store, they will either tell you or show you how to change it.
Other than that, public libraries sometimes have repair manuals that will tell you how to do this.
God bless your efforts.

that is caused by:
1: bad held lamp. old lamps can go dim.
swap left and right, if dim follows bulb, bingo weak bulb or wrong type bulb. buy matching blubs (same brand and P/n)
2: bad wiring to lamp. damaged wires, or connectors to same.
4: bad combo switch. (if low beams)

head lamp fuses. there are 2. left and right.

It is (most likely) not an electrical issue! It is an illumination/reflection issue. Headlight housing is probably corroded. Look at my comment above for an explanation.
