Xenon headlight different colors

This had been going on for awhile on my 2000 S430. When the headlights come on, after 10 seconds or so the passenger side headlight turns pinkish. Is this just the bulb or something else?

Thanks

It is the burner. You need to swap it. But it is advised to change both sides, due to the fact the "bulbs" slightly change color over time (getting brighter/whiter), so if you only change one, the colors may stay slightly different.

Thanks! I am going to let the Advisor at the dealership know about the burner. I'll post an update once I get one.
