Default Well I think it gradually turns to yellow. I know when I tossed in some new

Oem bulbs back in after 2 years. I noticed a whiter beam, even tho I didn't notice my older bulbs change yellower.

But when I mean yellow I don't mean like yellow yellow, just not as white.

Default HIDs do age and yellow over time from what ive heard...

figure though that $150 for new bulbs every 3 years isn't really more than what you would spend on fancy halogens like PIAA's...

Cheers,
