Mk7 gti headlight issues

Post by ZeeMan »

Hi guys

I'm having issues on my 2014 mk7 gti headlights.

I have the xenon lights.

The right side is brighter than the left side. I used vagcom and no errors.. I tried adjusting the lights and had no success.

Would appreciate some guidance on this.

Swop the bulbs and see if the problem swops as well.
If so, get new bulbs.

Probably bulbs , is there a colour difference, Purplish?.

Swop them over and if the issue moves its the bulb...if not the ballast has under volt output
