Dimmer Driver side headlight
Hello all, I have a 2006 S430 4matic, with halogen headlights. The headlights have the projector lens’ on them.
My driver side low beam headlight is noticeably dimmer than my passenger side. I replaced the bulb with a new one and still results with a dimmer beam. I then measured the voltage across the electrical plug for the bulb and got a reading of 14v. So no line loss. The headlight plastic isn't foggy, I managed to use those wipes to clear it up.
Is it possible that the actual projector lens can be the reason for the dimmed light? And if so, is this component replaceable?
Thanks in advanced
