So the passenger side bulb burnt out on the wife’s Tahoe. Bought two new Phillips HD3S bulbs. The light now works, but it’s much dimmer than the driver’s side. It MOGHT need adjusted, didn’t have to do that on the driver’s side. Other than that, what should I look at?

You said you bought two new bulbs. Did both bulbs in the passenger side burn out, and you replaced both of them with new bulbs? Or, did one bulb burn out on the passenger side, but you went ahead and replaced the passenger side and the driver's side?
Also, are your replacement bulbs the exact OEM spec bulbs? (I have no idea what the specs are on the bulbs, btw).
Low beam, passenger side, burnt out. I replaced both low beams with the Phillips OE replacement. I have adjusted the height so it matches the driver's side, but the output is way less than the driver's side...it's barely better than no bulb at all. Its possible that I either didn't seat it right or its a bad bulb. I'll have to swap out for the one on the driver's side to see.
