Greenish outer halo

Mr. M3 · 04-14-2021, 02:26 PM

So I recently installed the lux h8 189 bulbs and everything installed fine. Just my passenger side outer halo looks more green yellowish than the driver side halos. Is this a problem with the housing itself or the bulb?

Switch the bulbs to find out.

As mentioned above, try switching the bulbs.

And why is the inner corona so much brighter than the outer?

Design flaw of the housing, not the bulbs. Switched the bulbs, its actually the angle of how the bulb sits in the housing. Now both are evenly dim, but it matches so I'm fine with it.

Indeed the housing design has a major flaw, there is only one bulb per headlights, which is able to feed light to only the inner halos.
