one bright one dim h4's

I have a 73.5 w/ a drivers side bright head light and passenger dim head light. It is brightens a bit when throttle it pressed. Thends to be dim most of the time.

Is it a bad ground or bulb. Preferably an easy fix.

Dave

Swap bulbs or put in a spare first.....don't touch the bare bulb. The oils from your fingers/hand create a hot spot.
