I don't believe the right side bulb was installed correctly, the beam is way off to the left, compared to the even distribution of the driver side headlight. Also, it is advisable to change both bulbs at the same time for equal brightness. Here's a comparison from an old video "Urgent Nimber Mission" ruclips.net/video/ebJt46LuijQ/видео.html at around 14:09 at the turnaround you see the proper factory level. It could be the bulb needs to be reseated. Sometimes the locking tabs aren't all aligned.
@@LastRaptor Not good memory, I just looked at the old videos and that one showed headlights. I'm surprised it was missed. You can see the difference in the leveling machine. The passenger side beam pattern was a mess.
Exactly. Both xenons should be replaced at the same time since they degrade over time. Just be cause it produces some light does not mean that it is working correctly. I see a lot of cars in traffic with only one xenon replaced and the other is purple and dim as hell. Not safe at all.
No it feels like it's been installed correctly since the beam pattern is okay, but the right side was adjusted slightly lower and the convergence is way off. To be fair, very few shops actually do correct convergence
I never saw any car have the passenger side headlight set so much lower than the drivers side headlight. It seems like it wasn't aimed properly because the light cutoffs don't align and therefore reducing the distance you can see on the right side of the road. I would ask again to check if the headlights are really correctly adjusted or what's going on because I never saw any car to have such headlight alignment.
The right side is still misaligned from the video. Also I've always replaced both bulbs when one goes out. That's what I used to do when I drove cars with halogen bulbs anyway. If you only change one bulb, you can tell the difference in brightness. Even if you got out and looked at the headlights, one would usually be brighter than the other in the housing.
both bulbs must always be changed (if the damage was caused by wear ) , they have the same hours of work. Soon or later other one will be kaput. Same with dampers, tires, brakes etc. Always in pair .Also right one was installed incorrectly 4:29
That’s false, and should not be compared! The reason you change dampers in pair is because an new damper with and old one makes the new damper work twice as hard and will be bad in a lot shorter time. Brakes changes in pair because it can be uneven braking effect. Xenon bulbs is recommended to be changed in pair because of it can be a slightly different color tone and brightness.
@@P991TS Dude, first you say it's not true and then you contradict yourself. Why new demper is not working same as old ? Because of wear... Why brakes are not braking with the same force? because of waer. Why same brand xenon bulb have difrend color then new one, guess... YES! because of wear. If you want to say something smart, first think and then write
@@harrywitosa And you smartass don’t see the difference here. If you only change one bulb It doesn’t lead to any consequential error, like it can with dampers or brakes! Do you agree with that?
If by "must always" you mean, "its nice to", then you have a point. Otherwise, not really, its up to what the individual wants. Perfectly fine to change just one for most people.
The right side projector seems to be damaged, possibly from heat from a worn out xenon bulb. It does not have same even spread as the left. To counter the big blob of light, the whole light was adjusted down too much. Not uncommon for headlights to be worn out after 380tkm unfortunately
Philips bulbs are often slightly warmer colour temperature than other brands when compared directly. I prefer it a lot. I think warmer colour temperature is much better. It has to do with how our eyes perceive brightness. Brand new Osram bulbs would probably seem brighter. But warmer light is actually easier to see with and renders colours better and is more pleasant and easy on the eyes. It probably allows the eyes to see better in the dark areas as well and adjust to varying brightness levels. Like how submarines have red interior lights for when someone is looking through the periscope
D3S bulbs have the ballast built into the base. That is the square box on the bulb. Not the underside of the headlight housing. It's possible that is for the LED signals and beauty lights.
I have replaced my 25W D8s with Osram 35W D3s of course I also changed the balasts to OSRAM 10R-044663 and cables. Was not that expensive found new ballasts for 95eur both and Osram bulbs 70eur both.
Question: Why am I always getting blended by the lights of Teslas(Model 3, Model Y and Model S) when meeting them down a slope/hill when “no other” car and make blinds me? Are they poorly adjusted from factory?
they are set by the sales point when they prepare the car for delivery as the angle differs per country and often the car settles a bit in its suspention when leaving the factory. so its usually done by the dealership/stealership when they de-wrap the car. i can tell exactly what audi's were sold at my locar dealership as they didnt set the lights right and forgot to take the protective film off the licence plate lights for months.
Do the facelift led headlight retrofit conversion. That way you wont have to replace the xenon but just easily replace the entire unit at 1000,- a pop every 2 years because of failing drl which is not servicable 😂
Very surprised both bulbs were not changed at the same time. The left ‘s (brightness) will have deteriorated over time as well. That’s why you see a difference mate. On another note, I can’t get my head around the fact these cars don’t have adaptive dynamic headlights (even as an option or use LED matrix). My BMW’s have had this feature since 1999. This in itself is a no go for me living around country roads…
And most probably regenerate the reflector inside (apply fresh layer of aluminum) as these burn out pretty quickly in xenon headlights. Then you will see a world of difference.
Sounds interesting, do you have experience with that? If you could share some info on how difficult and how expensive that would be I would appreciate that a lot.
Rules in Norway regarding tires, say that tires with different properties and application cant be fitted to the same axel, like summer and winter tires..
My thought was the same after a xenon bulb change, I put an OEM osram but I didn't like the yellowish color, but osram does have higher luminous and brighter xenon bulbs which will give much more visibility. In this case I recommend the osram cool blue intense or xenarc night braker laser bulbs.
I’ll agree with what others have mentioned, the right side is still aligned way too low. It’s generating a hot spot too close while it should be further out
Feel free to do so. But perhaps also consider the fact that an equivalently bright LED bar can be bought for ~200 EUR on AliExpress, including a quality DC to DC converter with smoothed PWM and the remote control units. So, if someone asks 1200 EUR for it, it is in my opinion very likely that what you get is roughly the same product but with a 600% margin.
There is an obvious height difference between left and right side, right is much lower set. This should be adjusted. Maybe the lights also must be checked to be absolute parallel, I think the car is being cross-eyed! ☺
It's rare for home lighting to be 4000K - thanks to the old incandescent bulbs the "standard" is 2700K, though I prefer 3000K myself. Pretty much the only common exception to this is bathroom lights which are often 4000K; this is also common for office lighting.
@@bjornnyland I think you'll find you're the exception rather than the norm. Nothing wrong with that, but as pretty much all the home lighting stores carry predominantly 2700K lighting it narrows choices considerably. I find it tedious enough trying to find 3000K downlights etc. Though maybe 4000K can be easier since it's common for office/commercial lighting.

hmmm…. 1. it is always recommended to replace xenon bulbs in pairs, as during the time it degrades and the color temp goes up 2. default temp is 4200-4300K relaing the fact after some hours od usage thee temprature will be like 4500k and this is the temp what has been proven as the best compromise of brightnes and visibility in all conditions. the fact is that yellow light ( below 4300K) is better for wet condition and white/light blue ( abt 5000K) is better for dry condition. so thats why 4500K suits best to both. standard xenon bulbs are abt 4300k which will be 4500k after burn in hours. moteover ther are advanced bulbs like osram night breaker which are abt 4500-4600K right from the box as do nit need the burn in hours to get there.

@@benbaselet2026 In some countries (EU, Australia....) a headlight cleaning system is mandated if the light output exceeds a certain level. Most manufacturers simply install weaker bulbs rather than upgrading the headlights with washers.
I'm doing the bulb installation later today on my 2014 Model S. Glad you said the 35w are used in the US, since that is what I ordered. I guess if I see the old bulb is 25w I'll have to change the ballast also, in order to use the 35w. Or just re-order 25w bulbs to match the ballast.
@@dannyrusso8279 Yes you need to change the ballast too. One year after I did mine I can still recommend it. There is a Dutch Tesla aftermarket shop (Tesland or similar) who sells a kit. Edit: I got mine from Ali Express for 1/2 price. Is a big job as the lights have to come out to exchange the ballast.
@@moestrei I was lucky and found my car had a 35w bulb, so the one I replaced it with worked perfectly. Wasn't an easy installation though. First I couldn't get the plug off the bulb. I guess it wasn't removed since when the car was made 8 years ago, and was frozen on. I practically had to disassemble the plug, but finally was able to pry it off with a screwdriver. Then, the locking ring would not turn to secure the bulb. I had to apply a thin coat of lube, of course careful to keep the lube away from the bulb. It was easy after lubbing it.
There is no filament at xenons. There is an arc between 2 electrodes what provides the light. It's plasma, like a lightning. But by the time, theese electrodes are loosing material, and so their distance to each other raises, what means, more electric power is needed to keep the arc lighting. But the ballast don't provide more and more, and so the light gets weaker and finally ends up. I would try to replace the entire headlights with OEM LED-headlights from later Model S'.
