please bare with me, im not very car savvy...so today i replaced both my low beam bulbs on my 1996 honda accord lx. i put in new silverstars looking to achieve a "white" look with my new bulbs. this look was achieved on the passenger side bulb, but the light is much more "yellow" on the drivers side bulb. this makes it appear like one bulb is brighter/more dominant. it was like that before replacing the bulbs as well. ive already check and it doesnt appear that i have any film on the plastic covers or anything. does anyone know what could be happening to make this one bulb not be "white" and be more "yellowish"? thanks for the help

 

hey ive notice that a on a lot of cars with after market lights im not sure what causes this so i would really like to know also... the only thing i can think of what might cause this is because both or you headlights are not aimed int he same directions.i think in the u.s... the passenger side light is aimed down a llil but i duno any 1else?

 

Are you sure you replaced the low beams on both sides and not the low on one and the high on the other?

 

yes i am sure i changed both low beams. im not that stupid.

 

one side might need an adjustment. is the lends on the drivers side discolored or anything?

 

Locate and clean the ground connection for that Lamp (where the ground wire connects to the chassis). It sounds like you're suffering from low voltage. Any kind of poor / dirty connection will act like a resistor in the system.

sorry bro i haven't had headlights in my car for almost 2 years.

 

you dont have lights? or you have hid's? but still you havent sen other ppls cars with this problem? i always see them on the road

 

the accord does not have headlights, the audi has hid's and no i have never seen what you are talking about, but that doesnt mean there is something to the madness.

 

your confusing me... the accord does not have have head lights?... as in YOUR accord doesnt.. or no accord has them.. im really confused.. i thought all cars have headlights... or am i just thinking to much and you mean that you took out the headlights from your accord

 

slow down.

my accord is a project to say the least. happily it will "finally" be out of paint in the next week or so, it is actually on a trailer headed to a different city as a type this to get squirted. no it does not have headlights. yes all vehicles come with headlights (at least those that are street/night legal)

 

OoO hahaha ok i got yah.. you scared me.. i though i was stupid all this time and didnt know what a headlight was...
&lt;root bear

i didnt know yours was a project car...

 

yea i agree with P-Adams,,, it seems to be a low voltage problem,, try switching the bulbs around to see if it works well in the other socket,, if it doesnt, then you know there is a voltage problem
