maybe bad ground

That's my thinking, too.... but then wouldn't the headlight go bright when he measured the voltage?  That got me thinking it could be bad contacts in the socket.

I measured the voltage without the bulb in the socket .  The low beam read about 3 volts and the bulb when inserted glowed dimly.  The high beam measured 12 volts and the bulb when inserted glowed brightly.  On low beam with the driving lights shut off they still glowed dimly. switching to high beams shut the driving lights off as it should and the High beams were bright.  There is a cross feed somewhere and the switch seems the most likely point.  I just wondered if there was another cause I hadn't considered.
