HID Headlights suddently different colors
so I had a set of Morimoto XB35 5k for the last 6 months and my driver side suddenly looks more yellow than my passenger side. I bought new bulbs and the same thing happened immediately. Put in some Philipps Ultinons and again the same thing. So I figured it was the ballast. So bought a new one and just installed on driver side and still nothing changed. I swapped the ballast back and forth and the problem stayed on the driver side.
Any thoughts?
Everything is OEM except the bulbs.

Changes in color are usually the bulb going out. Flickering, not turning on are the ballast. In your case I would start looking at the wiring. It sounds like it's not getting the right amount of juice or something's up with the wires. Just check and compare with the other side.

Ya will Do that's why I was thinking the ignitors etc. I'll take a look at the wiring but outside burnt parts I'm not sure what to look for. I mean most the wiring is internal. Unless maybe the main connector could use some cleaning or something. But I don't know how that would all the sudden go bad or whatever since I have never removed the lights etc.
