Check the wiring, you have a voltage drop which means too much resistance somewhere.  Maybe something as simple as a wire getting worn.  Check the grounds in the area, clean off the terminals, etc, etc.

Replace the bulb... Your bulb has 2 fillaments; one for high beams and the other for low beams. Since people run low beams more often than high, it tends to burn out first.

Bad ground would be the most common reason for the light being dim.  The positive side is protected more from the elements than the negative side.
