covrt, check that your battery is still at full charge. Then, check all of your headlight connections and make sure your headlight ground wires have a good connection to the frame. When the car's running and the lights are on, check the voltage between the ground and your engine block, and if it's above about 10volts (give or take a volt i'd say), then your problem is the ground. To fix it, make sure the ground connection is clean and isolated.
One of your headlight housings might be faded too, sometimes if the inside of the light oxidizes you'll get a huge loss of brightness. If this is the case, you can just pop off the headlight covers, and prep and paint the housings with "chrome" paint. Even if this isn't the case, it's a fun/pretty easy thing to do just to give a little more brightness.
what do you drive...

do any of you guys know why one headlamp of mine would be alot brighter than the other? i tried putting in hid's and it didnt work out cause of the difference. i tried everything, new bulbs, new ballasts, new wiring and nothing. also tried a relay and it still didnt work.
my friends having the same problem
its a big difference in the hids but he jsut drives the way it is. its probably the wiring somewhere if u did the relay. good luck man

THE JOEY MOD! haha
quick little upgrade for both your light's power and the look of the car: pop off the headlight covers and re-chrome the chrome parts, like bridge said, but if there are any black or non-chrome parts (besides the bulbs themselves and the electrical parts, obviously), spray them the body color of the car and then seal those lights back up. i feel like over at the VW/audi and mini tuning scene, it's becoming a quick and popular mod to do, and it looks pretty good from what i've seen.

Wife drives 07 Mini Cooper S & 08 BMW 135i Convertible

your wife has awesome taste in cars! i mean i'm biased because my daily driver is a mini too, but i wish i had a mini and a 135i in my driveway!
the altima has a bit less of a fun factor, but i guess you can't beat a hybrid car from a reliable brand when it comes to practical driving.
and the SR50 is pretty cool for a scooter. how is that thing driving around town?
