08 bi xenon turns pink when warms

I have a 2008 maxima with projector bi xenon bulbs. My drivers side turned pink. When I start the car it's normal but within Seconds it discolor. Does anyone know what the problem is? Is it the bulb? Could it possibly be the projector? Any help would be great. I don't want to rip the bumper off to pull the headlight out and it not be the bulb.

D2S is a standardized size. Do not buy from the dealer, go to an auto parts store & purchase preferably a Philips brand replacement. They are fantastic OEM spec bulbs

You need a new D2S bulb. Replace both and keep the one from the passenger side as a spare.

This has been referred to as "the pink headlight of death" or your headlight catching pinkeye. Sorry dude, your bulb is on its last leg :-( new ones will solve your problems and as mentioned, don't buy from the dealer, way to many quality less expensive options out there.
