Daylight running light weirdness...

MINI135i · 11-12-2008, 09:11 AM

My driver side "daylight running light ring" is significantly brighter than the passenger side.

Anyone else notice this?

How did you check this? By standing in front of the car or by looking at a reflection while sitting in the drivers side.

The reason im asking is because if you were in the drivers seat and looked a reflection you will see a brigther driver side light, because of the angle. I have noticed this.

Anyway here is a picture against the garage wall. There is a lot of overexposure (cell phone) in the picture but the basic point is: the difference between the two sides.

I have also looked directly into each light ring and the drivers side is super bright compared to the passenger side.
