Ok, I'm sure someone has had to have had this happened on your 65-66 Mustang. My ps headlight is not fully lighting, i pulled the light out and it worked fine on other side. Also the rt blinker light stays on now since headlight went screwy. It's not light and I can only guess maybe a grounding issue. Any help is most appreicated....

Definitely sounds like a ground. There's a ground wire that connects directly from the headlight socket to, I think, the radiator support just inboard of the headlight. Check the driver's side - you should be able to find it and confirm that the passenger's side one is loose or missing.

Check you grounds, sounds like the headlight is trying to ground thru the park light. http://hammar.dyndns.org/~djhamma/wiring/wiring1966.htm
