I've had a few complaints from people I know that I was driving behind that one of my headlights on the one side are so much brighter than the other side. And I asked them if they were talknig about the fogs and they said no. It's just the regular lights. Do any of you guys have that problem? I don't notice it while I'm driving. But three people have mentioned it already.

That's typically a misalignment issue in my experience, not one actually being brighter than the other. The manual says that they do not require alignment, if my memory serves me correctly? I'd look to see if anything's loose near either of your headlights and probably have the dealer check it out since it's still under warranty.

Cheers,

the driver's side light should be pointed in a slightly different angle than the passenger side. that way your lights aren't blinding oncoming traffic. the driver's side will be pointedmore towards the right and the passenger side should be closer to straight on. perhaps your friend was just catching them at the right angle.... plus it will be more evident in a rear view mirror if she had the angle flipped up to dim the image (does that make sense?)
