I acquired two 160w 16000k maxspect razor r420r and I now know that they’re discontinued, which is fine except on one of the fixtures all the white lights are super dim so it shows up SO blue even when the whites are on 100%
Should I just replace these with newer and better lights or is there a way that I can repair this? I have no problem with them except for this and I don’t want to break the bank because apparently lighting is like the most expensive thing in a reef tank haha.

I'm guessing you got these used? Can you maybe try switching out the plug and see if it's the driver? Otherwise I'm thinking the whites on that one have gone bad.

Yeah I got them used, I didn’t even think of switching the plugs but if the whites have gone bad where can I get a replacement?
 
I think if the whites have gone bad then you're SOL, but I was thinking if it's just the driver then I'm sure you can find a replacement for that online somewhere.
 
You can replace or better yet supplement it with a 50/50 light strip.
 
How much are them? You can try our brand's K7 V3 lights (140watt)
