The headlight on the passenger side is dim on both high and low beam. Driver side is fine. Tried several new bulbs and even switched them from side to side to double check. I've cleaned every ground I can find, even looked under the dash, but nothing seems to make a difference. This is a 2 headlight system, not the quad setup.

 

Any thoughts on this? I can't afford to lose anymore hair.

Quads have 9004 for low beam and 9007 for high beam. 

 

I believe the OEM setup for Quads (Sport Headlights) is as follows:

 

Outer lamps - 9007 low beam and high beam

Inner lamps  - 9004 high beam only

 

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Correct... 

Hi there, new to the site.  Name is Mark Loken,  and I've got a 98 ram 1500.  I reference these owners forums far more than the brands sites or the dealer or supplier sites because my experience has been that there are more owners dealing with real world issues on vehicles hands on than there are shops that can possibly know this much firsthand.

 

Anyway, my problem is a very dim, nearly nothing there drivers side headlight, and a "not very bright" passenger headlight.  I read the posts here and see a few key issues, but haven't the experience to know my truck, or electronics beyond the very basics.

 

So, I find only ONE fuse in the pdc for headlights, obviously it works, as it is the only fuse and the lights are both lit...if very poorly.  So, can anyone tell me if my system shares features with the ones discussed above, or do I need to look elsewhere on the 98 vs your 2000 and newerm

First check the headlight fuses both left and right have separate fuses. Then double check the grounds in the cab in the driver side kick panel.
