1995 Geo Metro Front Wheel Drive Manual 155000 miles

The passenger side headlight comes on but is dim, even with the brights on. I figured it must be a ground. The only wiring diagram I could find was for a Suzuki Swift, but that should be right, shouldn't it?
Any way I found and cleaned the grounds I found behind the headlights on both sides, though they looked good in the first place. I also cleaned the battery terminals just to be sure. Looking at the wiring diagram there are 2 boxes under the hood for fuses and relays I think.
Could one of these be bad? How can I check them? I've already replaced the bulb. Everything else seems to work just fine on this car. Any help will be Greatly appreciated.

Hi l440mag,

Thank you for the donation.

Underdash fuse box has the H/L RH fuse ( 15 A). Check if it is good.

Seems you have a power supply fault rather than a ground circuit.
