One headlight brighter?

I recently had the drivers side headlight bulb plug connector replaced since it kept cutting out. Now it seems Majorly brighter than the original Passenger side. I presume this is due to it getting more power from clean contacts?

If that's the case can you clean the plug connectors so they match more?

Not being funny you have checked both bulbs still work havent you... and contact cleaner and a cotton bud would be good to clean the dirty one just make sure not to use WD40 as that will put a film on the connections and fook it...

Yep checked the passenger side. Will swap the bulbs over at the weekend to see if it makes a difference. Mind you looks like they have put the headlight alignment out as well which doesn't help.

Could be you need to clean the earths up

it could be the old bulb has burnt a bit and will be dimmer.

Both bulbs changed at the same time.
I'll swap the bulbs over and get some contact cleaner on the passenger contacts to see if it makes a difference.

Mystery solved.
Bought contact clean and changed bulbs over then after giving up put the car away to notice the idiots in the garage have wired it wrong so the drivers side is on full beam when dipped and dipped when full beam should be on.
Yet another cock up from my regular garage.

and you have learned a valuable lesson...

Wouldn't mind if it was a one off but this is the 3rd cock up from my trusted garage that I've used for years in the past 6 months so time to try somewhere new I think.

I'll have a go at switching the wires over tomorrow in the light with bullet connectors since my soldering isn't great.

New management?

or just a old customer who always pays ?

Possibly new mechanics?
Since same old owner and over the years always been great service until recently.

This is the plug they fitted so which wires do I need to swap over?

Just rewired it. Ended up soldering since kept dropping bullet conectors.
Turns out:
BLACK = BLACK
BLUE = RED
WHITE = YELLOW.
