Hilux One Dull Headlight?

Got a 99 Hilux and the LH headlight is really dull(yellow) on both High and Low beams. Still has the stock headlight fitted. Just happened all of a sudden not after being removed or anything. I remember years ago having a similar issue and im sure it turned out to be something common in the Hilux but can't remember what fixed it.

All the wiring and plugs seam ok.

Anyone got any ideas?

Forget it. I just fixed it. It had a blown fuse. I had never checked these and assumed they were Ok as the light still worked but was dull.

I just did a google search which I had done in the past with no luck but this time found one thread on it on another site and it turns out Toyota set up their headlights this way so they still light up if the fuse blows.

Its been like this for 12 months. Im only fixing it now so I can sell it :oops:
