Xenons different colour light
« on: June 20, 2019, 03:54:22 pm »
Hi, I fitted some xenons a couple of weeks back. One light was white and the other yellowish. The bulb producing the yellowish light went pop so I replaced both bulbs with some cheap ones from eBay.

I've just fitted both new bulbs and still the colour the xenons give out differs between headlights?

Any ideas why this could be?

When you swapped the bulbs from right to left were you still getting the yellowish light from the same headlight unit?

yes, the offside headlight is the one producing the yellowish light before and after the bulb swap. I usually buy decent bulb but these are my first xenons and I didn't want to spend heavily on bulbs if one of the lights is dying.

Try swapping the ignitor over see if that is the issue?
