It seems like my passenger side headlight is dimmer than the driver side. I'm using the same KYO SuperBeam EX 65W/45W bulbs on both sides. At first it was dimmer because the passenger side's lense hazed up but I polished it up and it looks clear. But it still seems like the driver side is still brighter. Just wondering if it's the aiming and if I can reaim it myself? Would love to show a picture but my status doesn't allow for attachments.

 

photobucket and generate the img link think...its free

 

It could also just be that one headlight is aimed differently than the other.

 

Ya that's what I've been thinking that the passenger side isn't aimed as high as the driver side.

 

aim it! Foo

 

i had the same problem when i had bulbs. You might have a grounding problem.

 

Check the bulb sockets and wiring for any dirt or damage.
Then reaim the lights. Directions are in the Stickies.

 

Well I finally got a picture that really shows how much brighter my driver side is to my passenger side. In the picture, if the 2 headlights were the same brightness, the red circle should be around the same size. However, the passenger side is considerably smaller.
Would this be the wiring, socket, or aiming of the headlight?

please explain cuz i hav the same problem with my bulbs...my high beams have the same lighting but on low beams my driver side is lower

 

wut i meant is how do i fix the grounding system, should i replace the whole bulb connection?

 

did you use aftermarket bulbs? ill be honest with you. I could never solve the problem and didn't get any answers on here as well. I switched out wiring harnesses, bulbs, everything, and still no prevail. jsut check the wires and make sure nothing has gone bad.

I just got HIDS to eliminate the problem

 

lol i guess i should do the same...but with a e46 retrofit lik in a post before this...

 

It seems like EVERY car has this problem as it gets aged. I've seen it on many other cars, not just the Max. My car has the same problem, but I just accept it as being a common issue with all cars as it gets old. The only sure way to fix it, I think, would be to rewire the whole freakin car.

As long as the light reflexs off the eyes of small road critters as they stare at my car speeding at them, in shear terror, I'm satisfied.

 

LOL well i'm not overly concern...it's just that it could be annoying for oncoming traffic. I can see perfectly fine from my driver side heh. Besides...HID kits are way too expensive for me to afford right now...I need to save up to get my AC fixed. And yes I'm using aftermarket bulbs but the set I had before had a similar problem. Anyhow not overly concern if I have to play with wiring

 

Could be the bulb, try switching the bulbs and see if the same side is dimmer
