headlight strip different brightness
Hi

I noticed that the passenger sides light strip is stronger then the drivers side. Is this normal or any solutions?

I have no clue if light strip is the correct word, but it is the curved light that goes from blue to white when turning on the vehicle.

This is completely normal for right hand drive countries. Passenger side is closer to the curve and has slightly longer light range.

Perhaps replace both modules, maybe the brightness will be consistent?
