Light Bulb

I just put in a pair of Philips Bluevision light bulbs in the front lamps. I noticed that the right lamp is more powerful/brighter, is there a way I can fix this?

It could depend on the angle you were looking at it from. I use these lights and have noticed no such difference. I would check all the little things first, like the aiming, dirt on the lens, and then proceed to look at the wiring.

On my 300TD, it is the other way around. There is a ground location on the right side. I cleaned the terminal and sanded the body where it screws in. Made a difference but the left is sitll brighter.

Aim against a wall in the late evening and adjust the height to equal proportion. Me thinks it the angle of aim.

ok thanks guys

i just want to say this bulbs do work, and are better than the regular stuff. There seems to be way more light coming out, and the lights seem a little brighter.
