BTW, be wary of cheap (eBay) halogen replacement lamps for the angel-eyes. I got some from somewhere (Hungry I think) that were basically crap. Very low output. I have modified my AE reflectors to allow me to change just the bare halogen lamp (BA9 12v 10w halogen) and finally found a local supplier that got me a set of Osram lamps that fit/work.

I considered replacing them with LEDs but as I wasn't ever going to be able to make them brighter, just whiter, I thought it was not worth the $$.

*edit* Just re-read you OP and realised you said one AE was dimmer than the other - that's what I had with the crap AE lamps. Maybe yours is the same? All four AE match now with decent Osram lamps.
