Take the bolt out, clean it and the electrical connector on the wire and also the bodywork around the hole with some abrasive paper.
That will almost certainly do the trick.

Bingo. The earth is bolted to the chasis behind the passenger headlight. (literally just behind it).
#4: Re: big problem with lights Author: kamikaza_90, Location: serbia/novi sadPosted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 4:11 am ---- I solve my problem! Reason why my lights were dimmed is jack with 3 wires on left headlight,contact was very bad and i just spray wd 40 and take off plastic protection around those 3 wires so now is more flexibile.
But it took me 1 hour to find a problem!
Thank to all of you for help
