Headlight help
I have a 2010 C350 and recently the passenger side headlight (stock) has changed colour. The light being emitted is now a dim purple instead of a bright blueish colour. There are no error messages and the headlights function normally - other than the colour change and the decrease in intensity.

Is this just the lightbulb starting to fail, or are there other issues?

Figured it out
Turns out the bulb died. Guess it turns pink before it goes dead. Mystery solved.
