Litronic Headlights

One headlight is not as bright as the other. Anyone have this experience?
Would replacing the bulb correct this? If so, how much would this cost?
Thanks, Phil

HID bulbs do tend to fade after several years. Sometimes it is also caused by misalignment internally within the projector. I would recommend replacing the bulbs in pairs. My company sells the Phillips 4100K HID D2S bulbs for $299 for the pair. I would assume a dealer is a little bit more, but not too bad.
