Suprab1 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I would think you just need to get your headlights focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Plastic or glass lenses? If plastic it maybe that the older one has more yellowing hence is dimmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Is one headlight old and one new then? Could it just be that the lens is clearer on the new one? Are the bulbs identical and same wattage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Try swapping the bulbs over first - assuming the near side bulb is already seated correctly and the electrical connections are good. All it can be really is: Incorrectly seated bulb Poor electrical connection(s) One bulb is better (brighter) than the other (are they the same wattage?) The new light unit is in much better condition than the near side one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprab1 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Did you have them focused? If your new one is pointing to high it will look brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
