Question about stock Xenon

[a4wd]

Hey guys, so I've been having some minor issues with my headlights lately. Since being lowered, my driver side headlight sometimes dips on hard right turns. Sometimes I can see the lights flicker on the driver side as well. More important than this however is the fact that I feel my headlights have a terrible range to them. When I ride in my friends e92 3 series, his cut off on the Xenons are superb!! I can see so much further with his lights. The same thing happens when I ride in my brothers MKV GTI.

Is it simply because I have outdated lights? They are OEM US with the cc mod, and I was wondering if that changed the cutoff on my lights...but I am not sure..

What do you guys think?
What do I need to do to resolve this issue?

Xenon bulbs also get dimmer as they get older. Maybe it's time for new bulbs.

You might have to reaim the headlights higher as the autoelevelling might be out of range since you are lowered now.

The 6000k D1S bulbs are plug and play.
