I'm sure there's a thread somewhere about this but I could not find it. I have a 97 kouki front end on my 95 and it has the HID lights. The passenger side light is very dim, but the driver's side is fine. I dont know very much about HID's so im looking to figure this out and gain some knowledge... Thanks

Switch Bulbs To See If It's Just The Bulb Acting up.

Thats a good idea, but i cant figure out what i need to take off to get the bulb. Do i need to take off the entire headlight assembly?

Pop the hood and look around for a plastic cap, behind where the bulb would be, it should twist right off.

HI,

Did you get this issue resolved yet? It could be several reasons and you need to swap the bulbs/ballast to figure it out

1.) one bulb could be bad2.) the ballast on the dim side could be bad that's why it's not giving enough power to light it up fully3.) YOur reflector housing is in a different angle then the other, that's why one light beams upward making it look much brighter than than the other.
