Xenon Headlight Color
The dealer replaced one of my xenon headlights and now the color from one light to the other is a little different. The original light has a blue tint and the replaced light has a more yellow tint.
What color are your xenon lights and do they match from side to side?

Mine does, the one that shine oncoming traffic has slightly yellow tint, while the other side is bluer and slightly brighter, doesn't really notice it while driving though. Maybe because of the angle of the projector.

Unfortunately, the burn in time is couple hundred hrs or so. Plan on seeing
this temperature differential for months, or pay the $30 or so to get another
new D2S bulb. Sell your used bulb on Ebay if it has low hrs and you can
say it has been burned-in (insert est hrs).
