xenon headlight
 

Hey gang,

I have OEM Xenons on my '05 X5, and when I had started the car up in my garage the other day, I had noticed that the right headlight is shining with a more pinkish/purplish color rather than the normal light blue/green, which is what the left one is still shining. looking at the headlights from the outside, both look fine, no dimming, the difference is only noticeable when shining both headlights at a wall at a close distance. Has anyone experienced this ever? is this a sign that I will need to replace the bulb soon? If so, any idea how much they cost?

Thanks!

Maybe the previus owner changed them out mine look excactly the same greenish glow when lighting up a wall..... check out this ebay sale it brakes down the color of the lights

I am the original owner :thumbup:

they are getting close to the end of their life....xenon bulbs tend to turn purplish when they are close to dyin'......do not go to the stealer...i always get my oem xenon bulbs on ebay or an internet vendor like "bavauto"
