Ok, so the front end of this car has had NO power going to it in over 5 years. I just got it all back together, mounted the headlights, hooked everything up, but here's the Problem. 1st thing I noticed is that the passenger side lights are MUCH brighter than the drivers side. 2nd the turn signals don't work. The hazard flashers DO work, but when I hit them, the passenger side blinks as it should, but EVERY light on the drivers side blinks (Turn, Headlight, Sidemarker). I double checked my grounds, but everything seems to be in order. Any ideas?
 
Does the headlight on the passenger side change brightness as the turn signal on that side blinks? If so, recheck the ground. There is a ground wire for each side that connects to the radiator mount brace.
 
no...the passenger side works perfectly. I have it grounded to the hood support. The drivers side headlight dims with the turn signal though. I have that grounded to a small bolt that was in the radiator support. If I remember correctly, that was the purpose of that particular bolt. I'll go back and double check that ground, though.
