Good find, in the good old days dim headlight meant bad ground which it still is but the circuit is controlled by the BCM which fails to close the circuit when a fuse is out. Here is a guide and the fuse panel diagrams so if anyone else needs to fix their car it will show them how:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
