I would think ur low beams are burnt (the bulbs) because that dim light u see should be the daytime running lights, which are usually less bright that the lights turned on.
Verify ur fuses as well for the low beams.
Check on that for now and get back to me if u have questions.

1995 Ford Mustang GT V8. Why do my dim headlights not work?

" dim headlights "? None of your lights should be 'dim'. You have 4 lights.

Side Lights.
Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
Low Beam Headlights.
High Beam Headlights.

Here are the fuses, check fuse 5 and D although they covers more items than lights. Your best bet is to find a good local auto-electrician.

Headlights wont work on dim, only bright

Check your head light bulbs, your truck has the dual filiment headlight bulbs one per side which does both high beam and low beam, 9007 bulbs.
If the low beam filiments are burned out only the high beam will work.
Also look into finding out if the headlight switch is gone bad.
The headlight module and or drl module maybe defective.

Both headlights went out same time . bulbs are good . fuses are good. back lights work and high beam works too. what else can it be? and is this common with these cars . 1998 acura 2.5 tl year is 1998 not...

Test the leads to the bulbs while the low beams are on and then when the brights are on. If you have good bulbs & fuses with no power on low, the problem is most likely the bright/dim switch.
Not exactly sure of the Acura layout, but the covers over the steering shaft should remove with several screws to allow access to the switch (usually the turn signals are also the bright/dim switch) Test the leads out to the headlights from the bright/dim switch, that will tell you if the switch is bad.
Airbags are closely involved with this removal/replacement, it is NOT recommended for a amatuer to undertake.
