Help Me Plz!!! Headlights Problem...
I had the driver side headlight replaced...but they screw up and lost my xenon bulb was in the driver's side...so I have to order a pair of bulbs to replace them and I did. I ordered a pair of 6000k bulbs from bimmian. Then I took it to the shop let them put it on...but now the problem is...the driver's side is true looks brighter(white), but the right side still looks what it was(little blue and away brighter than the driver's side)... I dont know if they screw up again? Or is the problem because my headlight(cause the driver's side is new)? In my opinion I think the color looks different is only bcz of the bulbs...but im not 100% sure...plz help me...THX GUYS!!

are they both level?
the picture makes it look like the passenger side one is tilted up more, and the angle can affect the color. put it facing a wall and afjust the cut off of each light to be level, and then take a look. |

Looks like the passenger side headlight is just aimed up a bit than the driver side. Typically, it's normal for that because you don't want to blind the oncoming traffic too much.....
But you can probably aim it down just a bit to make it look more even.

If you open the hood and look towards the back of the head light, there should be a hole you can stick a Philips screw driver into and turn it accordingly to adjust the aim of either headlight....you'll see a 'plus' symbol much like the head of a Philips screw driver....I forgot which way to turn is up and down, but you'll be able to tell by looking at the projected beam.
If you can't find it, I'll take a pic tomorrow and how you....

I won't have time to take a pic till later this afternoon....in the mean time, why don't you give it a try?
Basically, open your hood. Look directly down at the headlight, which would technically be the TOP of the headlight housing. Now look towards the back a little bit, and you should see what I was talking about. It's fairly simple, there won't be any other holes that'll fit a Philip screw driver. You'll obviously see all the screws that attaches the headlight to the body/frame of the car.
