Troubleshooting

Headlights do not turn on.

Check the bulb connections and ensure they are properly seated. Verify the fuse for the headlights is not blown. If the issue persists, consult a professional.

One headlight is dimmer than the other.

Check both bulbs for proper installation and ensure they are the same type. If the problem persists, one of the bulbs may be failing, requiring replacement.

Headlights flicker or strobe.

This could indicate a problem with the ballast or the bulb itself. Try replacing the bulb first. If the problem continues, the ballast may need to be replaced.

Headlights have a strange color or are not as white as expected.

Ensure the correct bulb type (D1S) has been installed. Confirm that the bulb is the genuine Philips WhiteVision gen2. Check for any dirt or obstructions on the lens.

Headlights are not as bright as expected.

Ensure the headlights are clean and free of any debris. Check the voltage of the car battery, and make sure that the headlight lenses are not clouded or hazed.
