Passenger side headlight brighter than driver's side?
I tried searching but couldn't come up with a solution. I've already tried adjusting the headlights manually, but the the passenger side headlight is still brighter. Also, I have tried switching out to new bulbs. When I drive at night, I can see the passenger side headlight light up like a spot light on the road. Has anyone found an answer to this problem? It's very annoying. Should I take it to the dealer? Thanks
Well if you have some sort of aftermarket lights in there I would take them out and put the stock back in before you take it to the dealer they may try to blame that on them. But yeah you have tried new bulbs so that was my thought but I have the same prob on my 88 civic it needs to have the headlights re alligned love my 01 Lights they are so bright with PIAA H4's

I notice that my passenger headlight is a little brighter than the drivers side also. The only real explanation that I can give is that it depends on where you're sitting. The reason why the passenger side looks brighter is because the light isn't right in front of you, so you notice it more. I bet that if you sat on the other side, you'd notice that the driver side light is actually brighter. It's all in the way that our eyes percieve things.
