HID Turned Pink. Bulb issue or more?

I got a 2006 Acura RL and one of the headlights turned pink\purple in color.
I am wondering if that is a sign the bulb is on its way out or could be something else, like the ballister, etc.

Dealer quoted me 385 to replace both low beams

I did some searching and found a post with info on replacing them, does not look too difficult.

Anyone have a link for the OSRAMs? I'd rather spend 200 bucks and an hour of my afternoon then 385 for the stealers to do it.

right, the pink bulb indicates the bulb is on its way out.

The bulb is about to go.

We trust these guys through and through. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...ducts_id=10591

However, there are plenty of other places you can get a legitimate OSRAM CBI D2S (I am assuming that is the OSRAM you were referring to because there are also the Night Breaker and Original bulbs too. http://www.osram.com/osram_com/products/lamps/automotive-lamps/automotive-cars/gas-discharge-headlight-lamps-for-cars/index.jsp)
