Attn: SprinTTer - re: Xenon bulbs update >>
First, thanks for the help, really appreciate you going to your dealer - and thanks to everyone else that gave advice.
Ok - so I opened up my headlamps and checked out each bulb - and they looked almost exactly the same - it was too tight for me to pull them out, but the markings - while displaying different numbers - did have similar patterns and look (one was
(Passenger & Original) : 01.07.10 and
(Driver & New Bulb in question) : 04.03.01
They had the same color and basically did appear to be the same manu. I also pulled out the smaller high beam, and they were exactly the same. (not sure if that could mean anything though).
Here are shots of the headlights:

You can see the driver side is more "yellow" than the passenger side.

I think that you guys nailed it with the 100 hour color shift. Guess the only way to find out now is the wait it out...

mine is like that for 7 months now, don't know if it's 100 hrs. driving yet, but still no change.
when first turned on, they are both very blue (cold start?), after a coupla minutes, the pass. light becomes "yellower" than the driver side.
