Default Headlight problem

Ok first off i have a 1992. Thing is when i turn on my running lights the left blinker works. Then when i turn on my brights the driver side headlight is slightly dimmer than the passenger side and then try the left blinker, the whole driver side headlight dims all the way to practically nothing. When i turn on my bright brights the whole left headlight dims the same way. passenger side works fine all the way around and i have no clue as to why this is...

Sounds like you have a short.
Are any of the bulbs shot? I know when I took my pass blinker bulb out to replace itnone of the blinkers would work until I put a bulb back in.

when wierd things like that happen ,it could be a ground problem!!!
they are several ground points on the radiator support check them out .
make sure they are grounded good!
make sure all the bulbs are good.

Second with hockey. Sounds like ground problem. Wire broken connection or bad connection. I would remove one at time ground wire and clean parts wire part and body. Even if looks good will probably find problem.
