My right headlight is kinda yellow. It seems to be very close in brightness to the left one. For what these cost I figure I'll ask around first.
Do xeons have voltage/ballast adjustments or is this plainly a bulb going bad?

P.S. Wife wants to take car home for Thanksgiving! Don't know if I can handle it.

 

I don't believe there is a voltage adjustment.

 

hey fabricator, what do you fabricate?

 

Dont know what to tell you man, there is nothing you can do other than by new bulbs. You can get new XENON (not xeon) bulbs on Ebay for around 60 bucks a pair. Look for a heat color of greater than 4300k. The higher the number the bluer the color. Don't go above 6k as you will loose light output and have really blue ricer bulbs.

 

the brighter bulb was probly replace already.. as bulbs get older they get dimmer

 

Current project is a Formula One simulator.
Thanks to all for the info.

 

Suppose I better pull the good one for a part number otherwise the color might not match?

 

The color probalby won't match anyways, as chris said as the bulbs get older they change color. Especially xenon bulbs. If you buy them at the dealer, you're going to get raped on the price.

 

Found some Phillips replacements on ebay for $68 a pair. Is this price too good to be true? Why are the prices so much higher at the parts houses.

 

They are so expensive at the store because there is very little competition (not like napa, or autozone sells them). On ebay the sellers buy them in bulk and can sell dirt cheap. Philips are the factory brand.

Make sure you buy the D2S (for projectors), not the D2R (for reflector housings). Which color bulb are you looking to buy?
