anyone notice any difference on one side of their bi-xenons?
ok, so I'm driving through downtown la tonight, and then I hit this HUGE pothole that I didn't see coming. the whole left wheels go into it.
when I parked my car and started it, the left light when it turned on turned yellowish, and it didn't seem as bright as the right light. am I just tripping? or could it have been damaged from the pothole? does it need to be readjusted? ****.

It's probably in your head. A xenon bulb uses an electrical arc. It either arcs, or it doesn't.
My only guess is that it rearranged some of the internals of the bulb. But xenons always flash yellow when they first ignite... then turn white.

when they flashed on, I noticed the left turning yellow longer and the right was already white, that's why I got nervous. hopefully it'll be fine tomorrow when my finals are over. I'm doing a great job of studying right now...

when I took in my car last week, I told my SA. she said that the left bulb was "going-out" and they changed it. but, it still seems yellowish to me for some reason. I dunno
