Hi Guys,
Strange one this. I recently had to replace my passenger side facelift headlight unit with a second hand unit from Ebay (due to the connector inside my original one melting and nearly catching fire on a short I believe) ... Melted most of my light inside!
Anyway to cut a long story short I'm running 6000k D2S bulbs on both sides. However on the new unit on the passenger side that I replaced the colour doesn't match my original headlight on the driver side. It's not as blue and seems 'flatter' in colour - almost non xenon looking which is very random?! Could it the reflector inside at fault? Or could it be the age difference between the two units? (Am sure the one I bought was the same year as mine though) The lens is just as clean as my other one...
To try and combat this I'm thinking of buying a single 8000k bulb to 'blue' it up to match the other side more. Thoughts or suggestions much appreciated as I'm at a loose end with it.
