IL Low beam issue

My low beam are not working correctly. The bulbs are turning on but something is still missing because I barely see outside. I was very proud with my low beam before. Now I've got a yellow malfunction indicator light on at all time when the engine is on. Does anyone knows what is the problem ? Do I need a Mazda dealer mechanic or just an ordinary electrician ?

Thanks Mazurfer. Now I know much more about my low beam issue, thanks to you. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to remove those sensors by myself, but I'm going to try it anyway. Thanks again.

The lights are working again. Thanks to you guys. My sensors were broken, so I've found a great and cheap replacement. If your sensors are broken too, use this link http://alex.mordue.co.uk/blog/?p=46
Alex found an easy solution for a big problem. I spent under 15$. I found all those resistors, small circuit and potentiometer at RadioShack. Good luck
