There is a color difference for the first 100 hours when comparing new bulbs with those that have been in service for some time. Once this "breaking-in period" has passed, the color becomes bluer and should resemble that of the older bulb.

i tried with different xenon bulb (older too) but it's the same.. I think it's a glass problem.The xenon on the right is blu and the xenon on the left is very white.I tried with 6000k bulb but the color doesn't change.Some time ago I find someone with a similar problem: different xenon color.It seems to be a 2010 Mercedes problem.. does anyone know how to solve it?
My E Coupe C207 have steering lights, maybe this can help.
I tried to disable the active lights but it's the same.

I tried the bulb I'm having trouble connected to the other side headlight and the color seems the be the same.The right headlight is alway very clear, the otherside (left side) is alway blue.. no matter what bulb I use and what kelvin is the xenon.

Mercedes e350 coupe c207 2010
Hello,
I had the same problem with my e350 coupe. The right headlight was bright white while the left headlight was more yellowish. I swapped the ballast from left to right and right to left, the problem was still the same. Then i switched the whole headlight unit meaning i removed the driver side headlight from the right side to the left side and vice versa to see if there was a problem with the outer wiring of the headlight but it was still the same. Anyways, if you would like to try to swap the ballasts like i did from side to side it is very easy, first thing you need to do is to remove the front bumper, and the ballasts will be right under the headlight as i recall. They have only 2 bolts holding them in place.
As a conclusion, i think that the problem is something realted to the inner headlight components. What i did to fix the problem about 80% is i put a higher kalvin unit xenon bulb on the passenger side (yellowish side) so that it would resemble the driver side. It is not 100% accurate but it is better than before. I put 4700k bulbs on the passenger side, and kept the original osram 4300 bulbs on the driver side.
Hope this was helpful.
