TL 06 Headlights

Hello guys,

I've just found out that the main light is a white light and the fog light on the side of the headlight is yellowish, is this standarD? i'm asking because this is a new car, and i can't image having two different set of bulbs in the headlight OEM.

Was wondering what lighting should i buy for the front headlights as in bulbs now that i found out this issue

Main headlight is an HID light, and fog light is a conventional halogen bulb. Yes this is normal.

HID light will look whiter than a standard halogen bulb.

Good post, but maybe for this poster that is a little too much technical detail.

I didn't mean it like that. Seriously. I just don't want to confuse the guy by talking about color temps.
