Lightbulb headlight problems

earlier this week, my passenger side headlight went very dim and brownish. So i went and replaced it, but it still is dim and brownish. I think it could be a bad ground, but i'm not sure. Anyone had have this problem before?

if it was a bad ground wouldn't the light flicker? if the light does not shine as bright i would imagine that it is not getting the proper amount of power. maybe there is a crappy wire somewheres or some corossion going on. id check the wiring after i check the ground(s).

what kind of condition is the plug in? could be a bad connection between the bulb and the plug.

Headlight/turn signal switch. My S13 did this to me as well on the same light.
