Headlight Dimming?

Noticed over the past few days that my driver side headlight is dimming, sometimes it comes back if I flick the high beams on and off quickly, but problem is getting worse, passenger side has no problems. I swapped the bulbs from one side to another with same results, and even tried the 05 headlight assembly that I have yet to install ( I know I know,get to it already) with same result. Driver side dim, passenger side ok. Is there a relay somewhere that I can pull out and check?

Thanks for the help

Did a search, and found a thread with a pic of the socket that looks like it was fried, white powdery substance inside, mine is clean, going to try replacing the sockets on both sides anyway. Hope this works
