Default One HID brighter than the other

Hey I have an 07 IS250 and everyone that drives in front of my car tells me that my drivers side headlight is way brighter than my passenger one. I thought it was because they were directly in front of the drivers one when theyre in front of me but I took a look and i think theyre right. until you get really close you can see one is brighter.

Is this normal? Has anyone ever had this issue or should i take it to Lexus?

in my case my passenger light is mildly brighter than my driver's. it may have to do with the angle of the light which falls under consideration that the passenger headlight's always higher than the driver's to prevent blinding of oncoming traffic.

in my case, my 8000k bulbs were installed improperly which caused them to flicker which i'm sure caused a little bit more burn-in, hence they're a little bit dimmer (though it's very subtle). but maybe you should take a look at it and see what's up.

Adjust your head lights. mine was the same way & with a little adjusting the light is perfect. it shows you how to do it in the owners manual.

the stock alignment of your headlights is different so it will seem like one is brighter than the other to your friends driving in front of you. it's real easy to adjust, i think there's something here on it
