Question Headlights: Ones stupid. Help me

Alright, i asked this question a while back but....... One of my headlights is alot dimmer than the other. And when i turn on the brights, the dim one goes even dimmer, and the normal one goes brighter.

Does this sound like something wrong with the actual lights or the electrical to you guys?

i dont drive my 7 much at night so i haven't rushed to fix it.

Swap the lights around and see if the problem follows the light.

You probably have a bad ground though.
