Volts [get it, huh huh?]

Got the relay kit from van café.

Instructions are ... Uh... Limited?

Main Point

The left low beam is yellowier than the right, same voltage at the relay.

When switched to high beam left side sees 6 volts, outer, large light is
dim, inner small light is not on at all.

Swapped in a new relay, same game.

Checked all crimps and redid several, same game.

Questions:

Is the left low beam supposed to be dimmer than the right [different numbers
on right and left]?

What might the problem be on high beam?

TIA 

Mike
