I noticed the color and brightness of my LH and RH LED DRL are different. One side of a purplish white and the other is pretty much a white at best. The "white" side is slightly LESS brighter as well. At first i though the headlight was recently replaced (i just got the car so that was a safe assumption), but when i looked at their tags, it says that both headlights were both made in 2010. That suggests, both headlights are still OEM.

So now i'm confused, has anyone had this experience.

Few questions:

1. Which color are the LEDs supposed to emit? My money is on white purpleish, and hence the brighter headlight.

2. What happened to the other "white" LED ?

3. Is there a way to adjust this with VAG-com to match?

The color is due to the bulb color temperature. Someone probably replaced the bulb with a different color temperature than the original.

These are for DRL, not the HID headlight. Is it even possible to replace the LED bulbs in that headlight? I highly doubt that is the problem. For some reason, those LED bulbs changed brightless/color/

I had an '10 with the same issue. Never had a chance to fix it/look into it. You might want to change out the entire headlight for the one that is purple-ish.

i would think the less bright LED is the one i would replace, no? What is the OEM color on these LEDs? Anyone have good pics?
