I have oem bixenons and about a month ago my passenger side headlight suddenly became dim. It's about half as bright as it should be. Anyone know why this is happening? I don't think it would be the bulb or is it that simple?

Ever happen to anyone before, Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

It can be the lamp, but not usually because the lamps today are rather well made. It could still be simple. Check the brown wires from the headlight, look for corrosion on the lamp and the connector. The brown wire eventually connects to chassis on a screw. Check that the terminals are clean and the nut is tight. This is the point that usually causes this. It could also be a defect in the front SAM, but lets hope it is not.

Most likely the lamp..if it is turning pink then its 100%..

Most likely the bulb. If you're still on the original bulbs, it's definitely time to change.

Swap bulbs from side to side. If the color follows its the bulb. If the color stays you are likely looking at a ballast.

thanks for the input guys. I was about swap out the bulbs today since i have an extra set of philips d2s. Luckily the only thing that was wrong with it was, somehow the bulb got unseated in the housing. I just had to screw it back in and it was fine. easy fix...
