Angel eye coding question

So I had someone code my Angel eyes to increase the voltage so that they're brighter, well it only seemed to work on the passenger side. The passenger side is really bright and the driver's side still looks stock. I've swapped them out with three different set's of H8 bulbs and it's the same.

So I thought maybe he didn't code one side, but after reading some threads this is not possible as it's one code for both. My question is does anyone know what would cause this? Is my module or something on the drivers side headlights on it's way out? And yes I triple checked the install each time I swapped them out.

Yeah it can't be coded only for one side
Probably is something wrong with your module.
Do you have cable to check the codes in FRM? Maybe it will show you what is going on. INPA is the easiest way to do it.

Unfortunately I don't have a cable, I might have to invest in one and start learning how to do it myself. Any suggestions on a cable?

I'd be checking if one of the headlight was changed at any stage...,

Thanks I've owned the car since new so that's definitely not the issue, I'm wondering if I knocked one of the AE optics loose or something the first time I changed the bulbs? They were a pain in the ass the first time, I might have to pull off the headlight.
