I think you are taking about your headlights in that case it is od that both are behaving the same way it might be your LCM- light control module...

thank u for ur reply
I'm asking about the xenon lights not the rings
there is white color and blue and white blue
all depends on the number of the bulp
4000k, 6000k, 8000k
many numbers
thanks in advance

i feel the same way about my '07 530i. I've even replaced them with brand new Xenons from BMW and although brighter, nowhere near the newer BMW's especially the new 3ers. I mean, Damn, they are bright!!! Anyone ever noticed how much brighter the 3 series Xenons compared to other BMWs???
Oh, and one important thing to note. Never go with the "6000k" or "8000k" or higher Kelvin. They are not brighter but BLUER. They may look better to your eyes but they reflect less light on the road, making them less effective. All manufacturers are using 4200-4600K. That sthe best range for the most light output on the road. Ever wonder why street lights are orange??? Hint hint.
