Headlight ground problem Sign In

My 2002 Honda Accord's right headlight (low beam) goes real dim occasionally
while driving. ( not sure about the high beam, rarely ever use high beam )
I am reaasonable sure that it is a ground problem but I can't find the right
headlight ground location .
I found the left headlight ground on the inside left fender well but cant find the
right side ground.
The headlight does not go completely off, just real dim.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jim,
Thank you for your reply.
I am 75 years old and must have had a senior moment.
My Honda is a 2001 year model and has the 2.3L four cylinder engine.
Nothing in the picture looked familiar except the left headlight ground location.
Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Headlight ground problem Sign In

Jerrymack told me in the PM what the fix was for his concern.I had asked him to come back here and post it.He was unsure how to do this,i told him how,but he seemed a little confused.I waited and since he hasnt posted in a while,i decided to copy and post it as a favor to him and the others...

Jim,
Once again, thank you for your help.
I found the right headlight ground but that was not the problem.
After looking and testing every thing for most of the day plus going to Walmart
to replace the bulb I dropped and broke the problem turned out to be the right
headlight fuse in the fuse box under the hood was not making good contact.
I could wiggle the fuse and the light would go from bright to dim so I removed
the fuse and gave the blades a slight twist, reinstalled the fuse and the light
is working like it should now.
