I was following/racing/trying to keep up (delete where appropriate) my dad last night and he called me to say that the passenger side headlamp looked a lot dimmer than the drivers.  I thought that it might be to do with the projector being focussed in a particular way, but it does seem dimmer when looking at it stationary.  I'll get it checked when it goes in but is this a common thing, has anyone else found this?

Cheers,

Mike

I don't think it's actually dimmer, but more that the light is focused in a different place. All modern cars do this: it's something to do with not blinding other cars/pedestrians (I forget which way round!), and you have to get the special covers for your lamps if you want to drive the car abroad.

You've got the dimensions the wrong way round though Mike; it's 80 pixels max wide, 200 max tall, yours is 80 tall and 106 wide.
