HIDs are diff on either side...?

[coleyteg]

Had my dc5 for a couple of weeks, and noticed the other night that my HIDs seem to be whiter/bluer on drivers side, and yellower/whiter on passenger side.
Is this the same on all DC5's?

If no, how can i check if one has been replaced? would the the ballasts different? (ie one showing 6000k and one showing 5000k?)

cheers guys

Why did you buy a teg with so many issues??

My hids look the same pal.

Gety soem pics up in daytime and nighttime for us to look at... :?: :|

 

[BadBadtz]

swap the bulbs around to eliminate the ballasts. Are you sure they are both HID's??

when i bought the car it was daytime so couldn't see any diff between the lights, and when i test drove it there was no where to drive it over 60 mph, so couldn't feel any real pull in the steering....

its just my luck

i'll change the bulbs over to see difference...

...and then ram it up the dealers aarse.
this must be shattering your teg owning dreams dude :?
d'you think the hids were removed for sva and they dropped one?

 

[coleyteg]

hehehe, i bought it privately mate :?

from a distance the hids look identical. but parked upin front of a wall or fence or another car, you can see difference.

its not a major issue, but when you buy a car you expect these things to be right.

and considering i upgraded from a dc2 that has the crappest headlights ever, i was really excited bought having HIDs (sad...i know)

going to the honda revs meet in northampton on sunday, maybe someone there can double check for me... :roll:
