Driver side HID turned purple!!!
 

While driving today I noticed in the reflection from the car in front of me that the driver side HID is purple compared to the passenger side which is bright white. I parked and confirmed that was indeed the case. Switching off and then back on both HIDS appear white but slowly the driver side starts turning purple. Is it the HID bulb going bad? If so, where could I find an OEM replacement online?

Thanks

Bulb replacement time. TheRetroFitSource, and get some genuine phillips 85122's.

Thanks for the reply. Will order one today. I assume the bulb replacement is simple as I have never replaced one before.

Thanks

Also the site seems to sell them in pairs. Should I be replacing both at the same time?

Always in pairs!

As for replacement, please put your model in a signature to help us identify processes specific to your situation.

In either case, it's not a difficult process, and there are guides floating around this site to walk you through it.

Sig added. Testing to see if it shows up.

Cheaper here and still genuine Philips, I just ordered a pair 2 months ago:

Philips D2S (85122) - HIDbulbsRus

^^They also have a great document on how to spot fake Phillips! Definitely worth a read!

Wow that's definitely quite a bit cheaper. But too late as RetroFitSource has already shipped my order.

Thanks
