headlight not working

i just noticed that my front left headlight is not working all the way, if you look at the car you see that the front right main bulb is really bright like it should, but the other is on but it is dim, like if one haedlight is powering both. anyone know y is that or how to fix it? thank you.

some thing happened, either wiring is going bad and cant support the current, or you have a breaking combo switch. there is a recall for that btw for 01-02 civics.

Could be a poor connection at the plug/bulb connection. Remove and re-seat connector.

You have a blown headlight fuse in the engine bay fuse box(right above passanger side tire). It's a small 10 amp fuse. You have 2 for both headlights. Check them both and replace the broken one. I promise it'll work.
