HID lighting problem quick question

hey guys it's been awhile since I've posted. I just have a quick question I'm wondering about. So I put in some HIDs in my Corolla about a little less than 6 or 7 months ago and obviously the bulbs come with the kit.

Now i'm having this problem where one light is shining brighter than the other. Just the other day they were working fine until now which was a few minutes to run some errands. I have 10K bulbs the one bulb is shining 10K and the driver side is shining like a darker purple and no where near as bright.

My question is could the driver side bulb be bad and need replacing? or why is the bulb shining less and a completely different color than the passenger side light? and i'm POSITIVE that all wirings were done correctly. My dad spen years with electronics and soldering. So i'm sure his work is legit.

Thanks for your help guys!

oh yea one last thing i forgot to mention. I do NOT have relays. thanks againn

Sounds like you bought a poor-quality HID kit, and it will not last much longer. I would recommend a proper HID retrofit. Ask me (or search) if you want to know how to have real HIDs in your head lights
