Default Low Beam - one okay / one dim

2004 S60
The left low beam is fine, the right low beam is very dim and the high beam bulbs are on at low voltage. No bulb failure message. Fuses are good.
Changed the bulb with no change.
I did not check the voltage, but it is as if the light is on a dimmer.


What should I check?

Solved - on another forum I found a thread covering corrosion in the connector to the headlight assembly. It wasn't the easiest thing to get to, but after disconnecting I found corrosion on the pins. I used a dental pick and electrical contact spray to clean it. Then used some dielectric grease on it before plugging it back in.
Worked fine.
