Exclamation Headlight output different 95 es300

Alright I've change all my bulbs and cleaned my lenses, no yellowing or oxidation, what could be causing my passenger side headlight to have a lower intensity/output than the drivers side? Could the projector be dirty or a wiring problem? By the way they are the stock projectors no mods whatsoever.

it could be the projector on the inside where the light reflects on the chrome bowl is peeling..,, i would just retrofit some nice TL projectors in them.. it would give you a much better output.

the only way you can tell is to take your headlights apart or just buy new headlights to solve your problem.

here is a new set on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXUS...=p4506.c0.m245

check your fuse... see if the passenger side has the same fuse as the drive side.

Projector bulb is most likely the thing affecting the output. Heres mine before and after I cleaned the lens. Excuse the business card, I did this ages ago, before we had problems on CL

make sure the bulbs are in correctly? i remember when i put in my bulbs, there's this funky little bracket that goes in too, it was positioned correctly, so my bulb on one side didnt sit quite right, which caused one side to be significantly dimmer.
