After 2000 the headlight wiring was changed on most models.
The new system grounded the lights thru the dimmer switch and headlight switch instead of the switches providing power as in years past.
So you have a red/blk for low beam and lite green/blk for high beam which goes to the dimmer and then to the headlight switch.
Dark blue/white is power from one fuse and dark green/orange is the other side power. One fuse for each side.
Replace a headlight on a 2001 Ford Taurus can be very easy, you need a 8mm socket and ratchet, and suitable screwdriver. You can watch this video for detailed steps.
A loose ground wire to the headlight will keep it dim,Or a headlight adjustment will bring the headlight up.If you can have your headlight turned on a garage door or something at night,and then watch as you change your headlights from low beam to high beam which ones are higher.the last thing to verify is that your high beam headlights are not the plastic lens type that turn dull which cuts the light power.
