Headlights

I have a 2000 F-250 superduty, my drivers side headlight will only light up with an orange glow on both low and high beam. Anybody have any thoughts?

you have a bad ground check for a loose connection or poor ground on the body

Sounds to me like the bulb is blown, the dim glow is a safety feature of new bulbs. Change out the bulb and you should be good to go

You can also make sure that the bulb is all the way in the housing. If you don't get them in right they will back out and give you that look. The bad news is they will also melt the housing.
