Default MTEC 6000K HID Install

Hi guys, I just installed my MTEC 6000K HID kit today and the lights look good. Just as I wanted, HOWEVER my right headlight is producing much more light than my left light. I dont know if because one of the headlights is older than the other or what, since i bought this set off another CLUBLEXUS member about a year ago. Do you guys have any idea why its like this and how to fix it?

here you can see the difference between the right and left lights. the difference is so dramatic and is totally bugging me out. please help if you can.

ALSO, the left headlamp appears to be somewhat purpleish from head on and the right headlamp appears more blue-white. Any thoughts?

Yea looks like you need to re-aim your left headlight. Plus a cleanin would deffinately help.

Damn those lights need some aiming. I've got that kit too and it's been working like a charm for nearly a year now, no problems with it whatsoever.

Here's what it's like having nicely aimed lights...


These were taken about 1.5~2 meters away from the wall.




Cheers

Jose
