Dim Headlight issues
I have a 99' 996 and my headlights, when switched to the furthest right "on" position on my switch are useless at night; not birght at all, last week they worked, this week not. Here's some details: the high-beams work, the fog lights work, the lights turn on, they just aren't bright. If I rotate the switch once, to the first click, the "auxillary" lights come one, if I rotate it twice, to the second click and the "standard lights", there is no chance in brightness. This particualr point leads me to beleive that it is the switch. Anyone have similar issues? Loose ground perhaps? Thanks in advance.

If there is NO differance between the parking lights and the driving low beams. i would suspect the switch. Many people have had to replace tose for various reasons...

This is way too long for us to wait on pictures
