Driver Side Headlight Not working very dim??

I had a problem w/my driver side headlight going very dim also the high beam and the fogs were not working. I figured it was a bad ground so I removed the common ground cleaned it & put it back together. That did the trick. I was thinking maybe I should clean up all the grounds. Is there a diagram of the grounds or does anyone have photo's of the other ground points on the C5?

Take A Good Look at the grounds, especially Ground G101
Ground G102
Be sure you take the connector loose and open and clean it.

I'm having this issue right now. Which ground did you clean to get the headlight to work right? Was it the black connector right behind the headlight on the frame?

This thread is from 04-05-2009. I doubt the OP will answer you.
Search on here or Google for the grounds, there are innumerable posts on here.
