Probably the earth wire that is bolted to the body just behind the headlight has become corroded and so not earthing properly.
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).

I solve my problem! Wink 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! Smile
Thank to all of you for help Smile
