I have had issues with my passenger side headlight for about for about five months. The headlight works some when it wants to. While driving I can turn the lights off and back on and the light starts working. Although the driver side is brighter than the passenger.
I am taking the car in Saturday for an oil change and hopefully without a fight , they will do something the fix this issue.

My question is with HIDs will I have the problem of one light being brighter than other other like regular headlights? Should I request that they fix/replace both sides?

 

I also had my driverside bulb replaced due to flicking, 6 months ago.

Our HID is designed at 43k but after 100 hours also it would settle at 48k.

So initially oneside IS brighter than other, but after 100+ hours.. both side are equal now!!!

NO WORRY!!!
