Just a guess
Definitely not a likely possibility. The difference is brightness is so noticeable that it almost looks like the car was in an accident.

Well, to be fair, when I look at the car head on (as in standing directly in front of each headlight) both Xenons look equally bright, but for some strange reason when I'm at a distance, one looks MUCH brighter than the other.
