Headlight turning Redish???

I have just notice that the driver side light is turning a redish (when I turn them on, they are the same white color, then the driver side slow turn red) color after turning on my lights. Is this normally a sign that the bulbs need replacing or could it be my ballast/ingiter/capacitor???

Any info/help would be GREAT!

if you bulb turns redish/pinkish that mean the bulb is about to go. Time to replace them. Id recommend 5000k or 6000k replacement bulbs.

ballast and ignitor prob keep the bulb from coming ON
YOu have an unusual death warning.
Most of us notice a pink hue on startup- thats a sure sign
See our azine sponsoring vendor, Excelerate, for Kaixen brand- awesome bulbs! or the Internet search

after you replace the bulbs IN PAIRS, use them all the time to get 100 hours of burn in time on them. Then they are at max power for you

Thanks for all the info! Muchos Gracias....Very relieved it is the bulbs and not something more expensive on the HID unit.

Saw the Kaixen "group buy" with a lot of positive response...gonna PM vendor if he has more.
