    Yellowish light output on HID

    Noticed this moring that the drivers side light was shinning a yellowish tint on the car in front of me. Could this be a bad bulb or a burnt bowl?

    The pass side headlight was replaced by the previous owner.

    Both lights have the AL "stamped" on the other headlight lense. Do these lights suffer from the burnt bowls?

    Don't know what that issue is but it's the ZKWs that have the burnt bowls... I haven't heard that with the ALs at all.

    If you want...swap bulbs and see if the color transfers. That should answer your question.

    I'm going with a failed bulb. This I'd why you should always replace in pairs IMO

    Will try tomorrow. Crappy lighting in the garage keeps me from doing work at night.

    Are they yellow all the time? Mine start out yellow and by the time I'm out of the garage waiting for the garage door to go down, they are white...

    A Venza just isn't the same as a ZHP.

    Ordered some new bulbs today.
