06-07 projectors, one side more blue than the other

Not sure, but my friend who drove in front of me one night is telling me that the driver's side HID light appears more blue than the passenger which is more white/yellow.

I followed redlude's DIY on how to re-aim and properly adjust your headlights but still see that the driver's side shines a hint of blue. But from up close, they both appear the exact same color.

Anyone have any idea what might be wrong? or is this normal?

This is after making the adjustments...



The green line is the horizontal cutoff point measured from the absolute center of the projector ball

The reason one side will appear "bluer" from a position directly in front of the headlights is that the driver's side headlight will be positioned on the higher step of the cutoff while the passenger side will be on the lower step. If you look at the headlights from a distance from the side instead of head on, the color should be the same

oh cool, so that's completely normal then. redlude from looking at my pictures after the re-aiming, does everything look correct to you? I followed your directions as best as i could.

Thanks i feel better now. for a second i thought something was wrong with my bulbs being different or something.
