Usually, when one headlight is dimmer than the others, it is a loss of ground that is the culprit. Check for loose or corroded connections. If all else fails, a new ground wire can be run from the effected lamp to a grounding source (frame/engine). I've had this problem for years. If you find a solution please let me know. I've ripped up the wiring from just beneath the driver headlamp all the way to the other lamp. I've found tons of rotted connections, fixed them, but never the original problem. Still looking!

check your fuse for that headlight even if it is blown it will still get power because of the way the circuit is set up it is called a sneak circuit . power backfeeds through the lights causing this condition.

Where is the headlight fuse located 1998 Chevy s10?

1998 Chevrolet S-10 Fuses. The fastest and easiest way to locate and identify fuses is to consult your owner's manual - always the best place to start. After checking your fuses you may find out that it's a bad bulb that's braking the circuit. If it ends up being a burnt out bulb, see sources and related links below and then consult your owner's manual for installation info.

Check the dashboard switch.These price about $50, so I personally would be heading to my favorite auto junkyard/salvage yard - especially since this is something of a guess.
