HID Not bright anymore

I notice both of my headlight is not bright anymore. I remember it ligth up the road at night. but now I can barely see. I tried adjusting them many time. Plus the headlight is not the bright white color light it used to be. I also notice when I turn on my headlight it white then it started to fade out into a yellow color light regular lights. Anyone have this problem? I don't know what to replace. the bulbs, igniter, or the ballast. someone help

maybe you should go check out the dealer. You can compare your car's lights to one on the lot and if it turns out to defective then they should replace it. I'm pretty sure it's covered.

it could be that the headlight casing lens is turning yellow. use some pelxus to clean them up.

Do a search on this. I seem to remember others complaining about lights turing yellow and it turned out the bulb was shot.

If it was the balast it wouldn't light up at all (i think )
