One of my headlights blew so I have fitted a pair of Osram night breakers, but one side seems to be a lot dimmer than the other, is there any reason for this.
Thanks.

It could be corrosion on the contacts, inspect and clean with a bit of emery cloth.
Have you got a multimeter? Check the voltage to earth of all three wires, compare against the good side. On the main/dip you should see 12v or more if the wire is good. On the common or return you should see 0v. If you have a resistance joint on one of the wires it will limit the current and you will see a difference in the voltage.
