I posted a few days ago about how my xenon bulb burnt out in my left headlight, and now that headlight is not as bright as the other one. I put the halogens back in and when you stand far enough away, you can definitely tell that one is brighter. It seems like the left one is on low beam and the right is on high beam, and when i high beam, they switch.... any idea whats going on?

 

Are you sure it's not the different alignments of the lights you're seeing? Isn't the right HL aimed a little higher to light the roadside?

Don't quote me on that. I guess check their alignment maybe???

yeah...for some reason my right headlight is aimed a little higher too

 

i believe the left headlight is aimed slightly lower to reduce glare for oncoming drivers.

 

with the hids on a 2k2/3 the right light is aimed a little higher so that it points more toward the road signs and the left one lower so the light doesnt blind oncoming dirvers because our HID low beams are brighter than most halogen high beams at certain angles

yeah, i had the same prob, just mess with the alignment...pull the car up to a wall so you can see better

 

yea i know about the slight difference in aiming, but this is really noticeable... and i only noticed it since that xenon burned out in the left HL. How do i mess with the alignment?

 

It is the same on 2k and 2k1... I thought my lights were not aligned

 

I was having that problem when I putin the bright lights, so I got a wire harness from SUVLIGHTS.COM

it gives more power to both headlights and it also prevents the melting wires from the higher wattage bulbs

 

theres a little white **** on the back of the lights, use a wrench or somethign to turn it

 

i have the same problem.. my left light is twice as bright. i dont know but i keep burning the bulb on my left headlamp that is why i'm lookin for some real HIDs. i bought like 5 sets of bulbs already in the 3 year life of my car. and its the left bulb that keeps burning out. anyone know why?

 

Yeah, on my 2K, one of the first things I noticed was that the right headlight pointed higher than the left. I thought maybe it was just out of line, but now I guess it's purposefully that way. Saves me a little time correcting it then.
