Stock headlights gone yellowish? s500

Hi, i have a year 2000 s500. and one of my headlights are yellowish, and the other is a blueish one... im thinking i want to just replace them with 8k High Intensity Discharge head lights...

what is the size? are they H7 's? or

D2S or D2R

If you have the regular halogens, it is H7 for low and high beams and H1 for the fog light.

Are you talking about the entire headlight unit?

damatash ive had the same problem, u can perform a DIY diagnosis to check if its the bulbs by swapping bulbs front left to right lamp and also if youre unsure u can always give stealership a ring with ur VIN# and they can cross-reference if u have xenons.
