Hey guys.

Need some help with this. Before installing my HID's I noticed that my right head light on my DC2 integra wasn't as bright as the left side. After installing the HID's the problem was still evident. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the HID's itself... How can I correct this? Thanks.

Probably because the ANGLE of the RHS is lower than the LHS.

Reason is , to avoid aiming the beam towards oncoming traffic.
IF you can live with it LEAVE IT BE. If you adjust it up , you may annoy other drivers

Bro RHS HL is always less bright then LHS HL side, as stated its to not distract onside coming cars. Its just the way its been designed. If yopu adjust you can eve get pulled over for defect by cops.

check the earthing on that side of the ballast. It might not be earthed as well. My GF's HIDs doesn't seem to have this prob. and i installed them

It's just as bright, just adjusted lower, as said, for oncoming traffic.

There is probably a adjustment knob at the back to adjust it up if it is too low, as I had to do with my euro.

I did a post about how to adjust, with pics.

Thats already on the dot...
its like that with every car..even on normal halogen globes.
if you shine it up against a wall the lights should some what look like this \_____.

with the left side slightly going up. It helps to increase vision of signs on your left and not blind people on your right.
