FRONT C LIGHTS AND DRL LIGHTS NOT THE SAME COLOR TEMPERATURE?
Hello
Heres a wierd one for everyone....
My C350 has lighting package. Since the day I picked up my car back in September I noticed there is a difference in the color temperature between the drivers and passengers sides. The front "C" lights and the lower DRL LED's.
Both the "C" light and the LED on the drivers side are more of a Greenish White. While the passenger side "C" and DRL LED are more of a Blue Color (which I think is what it is supposed to look like). The actually headlights (projectors) are not affected.
I think on each side the "C" light and the DRL LED are powered by the same Ballast or Igniter. Why would both lights on one side be a different color?
I think I want this fixed but thought I should ask other s and see if this is by design. Perhaps they want the drivers side brighter white?
I attached a picture to clarify. The lights I circled in pink / purple are blue and the lights circled in red are whiteish green. Even if I only have the DRL LED on and the "C" lights off. WIERD I think even in this pic (factory picture) you can see a slight difference. The lights on the left side of the pic are a little more blue then the right. Could be the angle in this pic but my lights for sure are different in person.
