Can it be reflector of that headlight, which may have lost its mirror effect or became dull.

Have you checked the reflector?

If the bulb is dimmer on one side check the resistance of it's earth connection.:)

Sounds like a good idea, try that way.

And yes you have to open the headlight unit in order to check the reflector.

Check the earth first and then go for rest.

Had major problems with my avensis's headlights before I sold it. Had to replace them in the end and cost a fortune. I got a vitz.

Yes unfortunately thats avansis common problem,

If the reflector inside headlight is bad quality i can answer and help on private message.

Process do not cost the earth and its cheeper than buying a new one.

There is a great hack that works wonderfully for the dim xenon holders

It can be solved with some patience and for less than a fiver: www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=137150
