Uneven halos with LUX H8 V5
I just got my kit yesterday and was able to get through the install relatively easy except for that damn passenger side headlight cover that took forever to get on. Before re-installing the headlight covers I made sure both lights were on the same settings but it's looking like my passenger side halo is a little dimmer than my driver's side? What do you think? Is it just me?
Everything is working fine with no error codes but I'll open it up again when the weather is better to see how it's seated in the mount. I've read that the bulb mount could have been dislodged when forcing the cover back on- has anyone had that situation before? If so, how did you fix it? |

Based on that photo it looks a little lighter on the passenger side but not by much. That wouldn't be enough to bug me though I don't know how that looks in person.

Only good LED option is to have full aftermarket rings installed in your headlights. For the price of this you're almost 1/3 the way to a quality retrofit job.

Make sure the ballast isn't blocking the auto leveling headlamps. This happened to me and threw no error codes until i was driving down hill but the lights were def off by a bit. There's only 1 perfect spot to put the ballasts where they don't interfere and it can be a bitch to find.

So I took both covers off to verify that they are indeed set to the same setting (7,800K) and even rotated the bulbs but the passenger side light still looked dimmed to me but at least I was able to confirm that the bulbs were not the problem. I read somewhere that the housing that the bulbs are connected to can come loose so I started jiggling it to see if it made a difference with how bright the lights are. Eventually I tried pushing it forward a bit which I think helped fix the problem. I'm satisfied with the look now.
