Pink headlight?
My passenger side headlight suddenly turned 'pink' this evening. Any thoughts as to what caused this? The driver side is bright white.

I would go with DS1 6000K lamps. They look so nice when looking at the car. I replaced everything with 6000K lamps. Looks pretty trick.

I don't like the blue light of the 8000k.

I find the oem 4200kish to be white and crisp, not dull.

different strokes for different folks.

Ok, thanks guys. I'll get a new pair of bulbs. I'm glad it's not something more serious.

6000k is good "if" you get it from a good company because the color is correct. Which is white with a hint of blue. Some company that has the 8000k,there color is the same as the 6000k color. So it all depends on who makes them and if there color chart is correct.

Yes it is not like your car is going bi -- with the pink light.
(Not that there is anything wrong with that.)

Sorry guys, could not resist
