one of my angel eyes are dim

I just noticed that my passenger light headlights are looking a little "brown" or somewhat dimmer. But the Driver side headlight has more of a "Blue" looking light. Why did this happen? does it mean that I have to change out the bulb?

What is a good way to make my angel eyes white without making them any brighter than the OEM's?

I dont like how BRIGHT the GP thunder 8500k are, you look at them and then

The poor oncoming traffic, I could only imagine

So i guess I do need to replace the bulb. I thought that these just went out and never dimmed.
Should I just replace them with one of those ebay brighter bulbs? Has anyone bought any from ebay?

The same thing happened to me on my previous M3 I just sold yesterday. The angel eyes I was running were from Umnitza.

does anyone read - seriously...

he has a 330i - NOT A COUPE.

OK - so is your angel eye dim, or are your headlights dim, thats a big difference. Either way, first off, if everything is stock, Bring it to the dealer - its under warranty.

Everything is stock in your car correct
