HOWEVER.

Those are meant to be 6000k bulbs and the passenger side doesn't seem like a 6000k bulb to me?

Even from that pic I would agree, the bulbs don't look the same, where did you get them from?

Are you sure that a: the lights are properly clean and b: that you have the lamp base seated correctly in the housing.

I'm not sure as I got a garage to carry out all the work for me. I'll have a check over tomorrow.

Yeah. Its a 10 minute job, I had the garage do mine because I got them to do work which involved the bumper coming off anyway.

Hopefully I will get my new bulbs early next week because the light output is poor at best.
