headlight color doesn't match the other

Am I on crack?

Turning my 2k2's lights on against my white garage wall and I notice the color of the two aren't exactly the same. Left one is the whiter, hint of purple...right one has a little yellow to it.

Should I ***** about this to the dealer or is this par for the HID course? What a picky bastard I am....

Yes, for sure. They are pointed directly onto my white garage wall and I can see a difference. Perhaps I should ask the dealer to change the bulb?

if they arent both...

bright white after 2 mins, then yeah.. something may be wrong. They can warm up at different rates, but both should level out at the same bright white within a short time

Thanks Tim. Perhaps I'll check out it out after I drive somewhere next time. I'll get out and look once I get there and see if it warms away...

BTW--this forum kicks a$$.

I noticed something similar to this when I first got my 2k2. When I first turned them on, the left one seemed to warm up faster giving it the bright white look first. Now it seems they warm up evenly. Just watch them while they are warming up...
