wrong bulb
dealer replaced a low beam
it seems more yellow than the other one, could it be that they put the wrong bulb? Or does it need time to heat up or something? Its had time but idk.

FWIW, mostly the color change thing is with HID lamps. With halogens, not so much, though they do fade. Your car has halogens from the photo. Just pop a new one in the other side and you'll be good to go.

They are similar, but a close look reveals differences. Also, HID equipped cars have headlamp washers and rear LED turn signals from 2008-2011.

Yea but my pictures come out yellow but IRL they are blueish. Which the previous owner could have put em in but idk.
At least projectors look good lol you are right cause I don't have washers.

So just pop in a new bulb on the other side and they'll match. If the car had an aftermarket HID kit, the dealer would have said it needed thousands of dollars in work and refused to touch it.
