Outer right angel eyes ring is bluer than outer left angel eyes ring

The inner rings are perfectly fine...both are pure white.

The right outer ring is significantly bluer than the left outer ring.

Could it have been an installation error? (I had the bulb replacement RD Angel Eyes, where I just had to open the hood and replace the bulbs)

The left outer ring doesn't look as bright as the right outer ring, and when I installed the angel eyes bulb, I couldn't turn the left bulb as far as the original bulb had been....I was also meeting heavy resistance when trying to turn the bulb...any suggestions? I'm pretty sure I aligned it correctly because I can feel that in that orientation, it went in the farthest.

EDIT: I had to turn counter-clockwise to put in the bulb on the left, and I had to turn clockwise to put the bulb in on the right.

My RD Angel eyes were the ones that fit the e92, but E-92 lighting said that it'd fit on my e90 lci, but it was seriously a really tight fit. Is it possible that I have the wrong bulb? One of the reasons I see a significant bluer color is that I rotated one counter clockwise and the other clockwise (they were both oriented the same in the beginning, so the difference in lighting could be from the difference in rotation.)

Does anyone who replaced their bulbs have any insight on this?

I might consider switching my lights again, since it's just such a PITA that one side is bluer than the other side.

Do you guys have any recommendations for a LCI e90? I want the colors to match my xenons, and I want them visible during the day....what's my best option?

Lux H8s I believe fits LCI models
