How come my left headlight is brighter than the right?

i started noticing that recently, could it be aiming the wrong direction, bad connection, or just the light needs to be changed. Any ideas my TL people, or "the TL think tank"???

By the way, i bought the 6k, but, as pitiful as this sounds, I half-ass tried to hook it up b/c i didnt see the plug visible , so decided not to continue. I may need to do some homework(i know, i suck).
W/ my accord, I can change the light in a minute.

which year TL do you have 99-01 or 02-03..

for the 02 there is one screw you need to remove and twist the cover. it comes right out. inside, just unplug the buld and switch it and your done. to adjust the beam on the 02-03 the is a bolt on the side, just stick a philips screw driver in it and turn. i forgot which direction is up and which is down but i am sure its not that hard to figure out....

here is a link...

hope this helps...

It says on top of the plastic cover. LT~RT something like that. Look carefully.

My HID's are weird...The left bulb emits a greenish-blue color, and the right bulb emits a purplish-white color. This is only noticable when i shine my headlights at my white garage door.
