Stolen headlight replaced...looks different from stock

I finally got my headlight replaced and everything fixed and painted after driving around for a month with one light. I looked at them before and the new one seems not as "blue" as the stock driverside one and seems so be ever slightly dimmer. Why is this? Is there a way to make it match the stock one?

the new one hasnt color shifted yet... which takes about 100 hours as dr. roy stated. when they color shift, they will shift from 4100k to 4300k, approximately. If you want, you can run ur headlights on during the day to make them colorshift faster...
