my LH headlight is not so bright as my RH side ! help please

After getting into an accident about a month ago, i finally got my car back from the body shop. I noticed that my LH driverside headlight is not as bright as my RH [passenger side], like its very very dim compared to the RH side. I thought it was the bulb, so i replaced both of them including my foglight, but the result is still the same. Can there be something wrong with the wiring ? why is my driverside headlight not as bright as my RH side ? thanks guys

lol then yes they're aimed properly. It seems as if there isnt that much energy going into the LH headlight bulb.

Or maybe that one dim headlight doesnt have a good ground connection.

Did they replace one of your headlights during repair. Cause new headlight always brighter than your old one.
Just a thought
