right headlight dimmer than the left
1999 a6Q (4b model, AHA engine, certified to 100k - now has 159k) had for 10 yrs & have fixed some of my electrical issues using posts on this site - all work on my car has been done by me. i just replaced my cloudy headlights with angel eyes from ebay. however, when looking at the lights the right side is dimmer than the left. so, i put a volt meter on both wiring harnesses ( driver & passenger side ) to rule out the new headlights & i am receiving 12.2v on the driver side & 11.4v on the passenger side. can someone explain what relay or connector i should be looking at for a shorted connection or post a6 wiring diagram.

headlight issues!
thanks for responding. headlights are halogen. i am trying to trace back from the headlight where the passenger headlight wiring harness connects. i believe if i can find that i may be able to find a connector pin that is being grounded, melted, or just not getting a connection. i removed the glovebox & have not found the passenger wiring harness. any help would be appreciated.
Also, i recently replaced the headlight switch to see if it was the issue, but no change. i only ruled out the switch that turns the lights on.

headlight issues!
i should have the techni book cds any day now i won from ebay. just trying to get this out of the way in free time today so just looking for a direction as to what number the connector plugs into on the lower right pillar.
i agree it is probably a ground touching something or melted to plastic & not getting full voltage.
