Hey y'all, this is the first place I knew to go since I've checked countless threads and could not find this exact issue anywhere.
Below I have 4 pictures. Two of the passenger side w/ and without high beam. And the same for the drivers side.
My year is 2018 V6 Tradesman. The drivers side headlight led is dimmer than the passenger side. It will still auto brighten whenever I start the truck but it stays in this dim state as long as it wants to.
I literally drove to the auto parts store one night as it was dim and it came back on full brightness like magic. With the illuminated approach (turns lights on when you click unlock) I've noticed during the day it will randomly be off.
The problem only used to last a few minutes and it would kick back on. Now the time it's dim seems longer than before. Usually driving would turn it back to full brightness but I just drove a full hour and no luck.
I've wiggled plugs, tapped it, removed fuses, even fully disconnected my battery and nothing seems to be the root cause.
I haven't torn the headlight apart because clearly if it's coming back on to full power randomly that means it's still working.
I'm at a loss of what it could be. Any help is appreciated. Thank you all for helping me solve the gremlin infestation.
