technical E92 LCI Headlight Dimming After a month?

[lowkeyza]

Hi all I have a E92 335i LCI, my passenger side xenon always goes dim after a month, it has condensation as well inside. The driver side is an osram and the passenger side is a aftermarket, could it be burning out because its a off brand or do you think due to condensation? New xenon ballast is also fitted on the passenger side last month after it stopped working. Bought the car with one side not working and managed to get the xenon working, my DRL rings also dont work. Thanks!

Different brand of bulbs would'nt result in one light being dimmer (based on my own experience). The bumper fitment seems off to me, I would imagine the front end was damaged in an accident at some point. Seems the headlights may have also been damaged.

If you're in Durban, visit Jabsport for some advice. He specializes in lighting and sorted out my E46 xenons.

If you getting condensation build up in the headlight then it is not sealed properly and is probably the cause of your problems. The ballast most likely stopped working due to the moisture getting to the ballast and causing it to short out.

Hey bud, take the headlight out, you can then see if the lens is cracked etc where the condensation is getting in, you can put it in a warm oven for a bit to get the condensation out, emphasis on warm - just take out all the bulbs and covers, then seal it nicely with some glue.

The angel eyes use an H8 bulb which is located on the top - your bulb is probably blown.
