Headlights - one is slightly warmer

[TLST22]

So I just noticed something that’s making my OCD kick into overdrive.

My 22 ST’s passenger headlight is slightly warmer in color temp than my driver side. Now that I’ve seen it I cannot fucking unsee it.

Brand new 22 ST with less than 400 miles, can the dealership get me a new headlight for my passenger side? Are the new models made with built-in LED low bulbs?

Maybe the ST likes your passenger better? Lol

LOL it's the OCD in me man, I just can't unsee it. To some it might not even matter or they might not even notice it, I have a keen eye for shit like this smh.

I have noticed that my passenger side headlight projects slightly higher than the driver side and drives me nuts. Got to love these small Ford "throw it all together" nuances on a $60k vehicle.

At least that's easily adjustable.

Very true. First time hearing about your issue though. Your dealership should be able to replace it under your warranty no questions asked.

I think mine is the opposite, where the driver side is slightly lower lol I was thinking it was just to prevent more light going into ongoing traffic drivers eyes. Who knows that’s true or not. Probably not.

I think you two are saying the same thing.

OCD. Both a blessing (finding real problems) and a curse (finding imaginary problems). Good luck man!

It really is, I hate having an eye to spot minor difference like this. Triggers my OCD so bad LOL

Oh jeez yeah we are lol I don’t know why I didn’t read it like that initially. Guessing it’s by design.

In the "old days" that was the way headlights were adjusted. The right side was higher and aimed toward the side of the road. The left side was lower so it wouldn't blind oncoming drivers.
