Icon6 Dull lighting

Hey all,

I just replaced my headlights with some h4 super plasma piaa lights...

I bought these because my headlights were fine prior to this its just my driver side headlight was dull or weak whatever youd like to call it...

So I thought it was the headlight going and I threw in the h4 super plasmas and the problem is still there...

I just dont know what would make the beam appear dull?
-Its not the bulbs and the wiring is fine Ive never touched it

I just dont get it, could it be my corner light possibly going that would cause this?

I have a 1994 honda civic dx bubble if it helps...

Someone literally please shed some light on this subject...

try swapping the bulbs to see if the problem moves to the other side or still remains. if they problem still remains, its either one of 2 causes. 1) your lense is clouded and blocking light from passing through or 2) youre wiring is fryed and you need to either get it re done or run a harness off the good one.

-is the dull beam aimed too low?
-look inside and see if you see a difference between the reflector/shield vs. the 'good' light.
-as mentioned it also might have some lens hazing that is affecting the output.

If your headlights look foggy, you might solve the problem with a polish. You can probably get a local shop to clean and buff them for around $50? It really does help.
