Changed the front right light

Motastic · 04-25-2011, 02:17 PM

I Just bought the car and the car was giving an adaptive headlamp error on the iDrive, took it the dealership and they said it needed to be replaced. They replaced the right housing assembly.

Now the right is not as bright as the left. I have an 07 335 coupe.

Do you think because it is a new bulb or because something is wrong?

Motastic · 04-25-2011, 02:59 PM

when they put a new bulb, does it light up dimmer than an older one?

Take it back and be like...come on guys now WTF is this...*

*except be a little nicer, casually point out that a new bulb should not be dimmer than an old one.

That shall be a fun experience because they are gonna be a pain in the ass. I just bought the car and the headlamp was messed up so had to get them to replace it and alot of fighting was involved in it

The new bulb is more yellow while the old one is blue/purple and the old bulb appears brighter.

The new headlight is aimed lower and does not appear as bright.
