Xenon Headlight Bulb Color Mismatch?
#1
![Default](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
The dealer had to change out one of my headlight assemblies (the whole casing and bulb) because of a broken interior peice. Now since they changed one bulb out, the new one is a different color than the old one. Is there a solution to get both headlights to look the same. I like the bluer (older) one better. Please help! thanks...

factory bulb is 4300 Kelvin light output rated. Philips company (the OEM for the bulb) markets a bulb as a replacement specifically for this issue. It is rated at 5000 Kelvin, and it would have the same "blue" tint as your current bulb.
The dealer will only swap out what the factory provides, so you have two choices....keep the one they gave you and wait for it to "warm up" (over time) to the same color, or purchase one of the bulbs I mentioned.
