I noticed the other day in my reflection from a truck in front of me that my left headlight seems to be bluer than the right side which just seems white. They were fine for the first 2 months and Ive pulled the bulbs out and they are fine. I cant tell from standing in front of the car but if I point my lights at my garage and I can the color difference but both are just as bright as each other. Im thinking maybe one light is just adjusted a little bit higher just enough to cause the discoloration. Anyone ever have this problem at all? Im gonna re-adjust both lights this weekend to see if that will fix it.

I do in my fogs but I blame it on discoloration of the lens. Too lazy to inspect it during the cold winter months to get a definite answer.

Yea Im just gonna adjust both lights down and then back up and get them both parallel with each other and hope that it fixes the discoloration at night.

Yea I never even took the wheel off. Just pulled the front bumper off and put a socket up on it. Took me about 20 mins of messing with it with the car pointed at the garage last night but thats what it was. When the lights are pointed a little further down the projector portion caused the light to appear more white then blue. So once I had them set more upward, the lights were both bluish color like they should look with the 6000k light bulbs in there. So it all looks the same now with the fogs and headlights and once again Im not stressing about it. Nothing is worse than when you have obsessive compulsive disorder and your headlights are two different colors. LOL
