Dont know what vts are like but with my VE they were uneven turns out one of the globes was upside down and not sitting right. Just check and see if it looks to be sitting right

Looks to me like you may have a voltage drop on that side.
Check the harness plug. It may be dirty or corroded, or not plugged in properly.

Also check the plugs on the globes for the same things.

Maybe they had it out to try and find the problem and forgot to put it back in.
Anyway, I doubt that's the problem, because there's also a problem with the low beam.

Try measuring the voltage at the headlight plug.....still reckon there is a voltage drop.
Disconnect the right side headlight assembly and see if the left becomes any brighter.
Maybe check the 60 amp lighting fusible link.
May be the globe's on the way out.

I'd say that either the fuse element was de graded and caused power loss,
or the contacts on the fuse were dirty causing same.
