Odd lighting issue

I have a 06 ML500 with the lighting package and one of my H.I.D's doesnt shine the blue color its more of a magenta color, while the passanger side bulb shines correctly. I disconected the bulb and plugged it back in to see if it was a loose connection and it fired up blue like it was supposed to, than it faded to magenta again. I have no idea what this is, dont feel like going to the stealership with this because the car is out of warranty and they will charge me 200 dollars and tell me my bulb is bad. any suggestions??
