05 tl head linght

I picked up my black on black tl last night and notice that the head light is white, it is not a light blue color like the TSX. The dealer gave me a loaner (TSX) when my car was on order. Does the TL head light turn blue after certain hours of usage???

Thanks

with these HID's, they are more white than blue...

but sometimes when you just turn the headlight on, it will have a bluish tint to it...but after some time, it will become white...

keep in mind that blue is illegal...so i'm not sure how much blue you were expecting lol...

certain cars like audis' bmw's have hid's that have a different color to it, depending on the angle that you view the headlight from...

new HID bulbs will look yellower / whiter. after maybe liek 100 hours of so of burning time, they colorshift and become a LITTLE more bluer. but 4300k bulbs (used by all OEMs) are more white than blue. i'm not sure how the TL cutoff is, but some projectors have a colorful (blue) cutoff line. you can see this blue "flicker" at certain angles (watch your car go over a speed bump or something).
