I have a 2000 Mercury Sable with a dim right headlight. When plugged the assembly in on the other side it worked properly. Any idea how to repair?

I made a mistake, with the dim side. The problem is on the left side with the headlight and the highbeam; they are both dim. The directional and the parking light work properly. Can you help with the circuits?

Thank you
