Is it normal for headlights to dim?
A loose connection can result in a lack of power being sent to the bulb. Alternatively, the bulb may be at the end of its life, in which case it should be replaced. A bad alternator, ageing headlight lenses and a corroded ground wire could also be the cause of dim headlights.
