Headlights

I just got some Silverstar bulbs and tonight I noticed one light is way brighter than the other. Any advice?

might want to check the filament and see if one might be manufactured poorly than the other. You should also check to see if the aim of your headlights are correct. I've replaced other bulbs and had to re-aim them.

Forgot to mention not to touch the glass with your fingers. The oil on your fingers will start to burn on the glass and shorten the life of the bulb or make them explode while in use.

They are fixed! Just had to rotate one of the bulbs to match the other, tedious work around that battery! But they are fixed.
