2 weeks ago i ran into a chair on the FWY, my front bumper was replaced + the drivers litronic xenon light (the old one got scuffed by the chair so they just replaced it with a brand new one)

Now it looks like the passenger side litronic xenon light is BRIGHTER than that new one? whats going on here? they look the same, the shop ordered direct from Porsche, ect.. But the older light (passenger side) seems to be ommitting more light? has anyone experienced this before?

JUST WENT & CHECKED AGAIN, THE NEW HEADLIGHT SEEMS AS IF ITS OMMITTING A DIFFERENT KIND OF LIGHT..LIKE NOT AS WHITE AS THE OTHER ONE, MAYBE MORE YELLOWISH..(but not yellow yellow, just less white-hard to explain-)I'M NOT SURE!!

UPDATE: So Today i went back to the place, had them take the BULB out of the headlight that was replaced (bulbs still working) and put in the new headlight AND STILL SAME THING! so its not a "Bulb" Issue.
*So far got 2 different answers.
1- Things not grounded correct in new light
2- Old light looks brighter but its not, its because its older and maybe needs resurfacing.

 

Yes unfortunately there are different types. Take a read here :-

So unless the mechanic has the exact same model, then it's better to change a pair. I've read others having the same problem as you.

 

Three different ENTIRE LIGHT or you mean 3 different Bulbs? thanks.

 

3 different lightbulbs. So if your existing Litronic dies, changes are all they'll change is just the bulb.

Have a look at here & scroll down to HIDD2S. You'll see they offer at least two here (6000K & 8000K). Not certain why they don't offer the 4300K.

I'd google a bit to see the proper Philips/Porsche ones to see what model number it was. I was doing this research last year and knew of the difference but didn't save the webpages or info - but it's out there in Google somewhere.

 

Bring over the car for me to take a quick look.

Cheers,
Robert
