Gen 4 Projector/HID Problem

Hey guys and gals, so I'm having a little problem.

When I got my Gen 4's I waited to get my DDM Tuning 4500k HID's to put them in. Well when I put them in I noticed the drivers side was defiantly more yellow the the passenger side. So my first thought was that the drivers side HID bulb was bad. So I switched them, in which the yellow stayed on the drivers side. So the problem was not in the bulb, check.

Well just tonight I got to switching ballast, and guess what, the drivers side is still yellow. I have a relay harness so its not a power issue I dont think.

So have you guys ever had the projector go bad. I mean its been like this since I got them 3 weeks ago, but never thought it was the actual Headlight Housing up until now.

Maybe send them back if possible & get a new pair?

I've never heard of that happening before...

I havent check them out of the projector. I think I may try my Multimeter today and see what kind of voltage there getting.

But heres a picture, and I mean it stays the same wether I took this picture from the right or left.

you may have to aim it down a little. mine was like that. well when driving it looked as if one was yellow and one wasnt when going over bumps and so. it also looked as if one side was brighter than the other. so i aimed it down to even off the cutoff and it is better

Wouldnt the relay take care of that though?

Also with the cutoff, should it be a step or how it is up there?
