Checked the earth side of the globe?
Checked if it is dim on high beam?
Everyone thinks as long as they're getting "12V" then it should be OK. There needs to be a satisfactory contact between the other side of the globe filament and earth.
Corrosion is your enemy.

If earth is OK then swap globes L<->R and see if the globe is dull
