Anyone notice that their HIDS are not bright?
I've been lately noticing that the light output of my oem HIDS are very poor. I can barely see at night and have been noticing that people with halogens have more light lol. Anyone else notice this or found any solutions? Is it time for me to change the bulbs?

My wife's 02 s55 did the same thing. I was told it was the ballasts or the bulbs so I tried 1 new bulb. It worked so I replaced the other side now both sides work fine. Kind of hard to get in and out. They fit in just 1 way. Don't touch the glass.

Doesn't sound normal. Mine are super bright, probably worth looking into changing something like speedracer said.
