hello

anybody had this problem with their headlghts? one headlight a dim pinkish color and the other headlight working properly.

ive seen a tl on the road with the same problem. the service dept. has replaced parts twice but problem persists. when i first turn the lights on they both glow properly, but shortly thereafter the one dims to the pinkish color.
does anyone have answers to fix this problem. my service manager has contacted home office but no fix as of yet.

thanks

One of your HID's is about crap out on you. They usually start turning pink when about to go out.

You can get a pair of bulbs for around $250 online. The dealer will probably charge $250 for a single bulb.

I highly doubt they changed the bulb. THose kinds of things are not warrantied and the dealer has no incentive to replace them watsoever.

You can get HID's (either Osram or Phillips) for about 250 a pair.
