Pink Headlight

[jchar27]

Driving home, light's came on at dusk, noticed a light reddish/pink coloring on the road in front of me. Didn't think anything of it. Parked car, and as I'm walking away, noticed the left headlight is pink. Dealer replacing under warranty, but I didn't get an explanation as to what would cause this. Anyone else see this?

I can see a bad light going out, but not changing color?

Bad bulb. As HIDs go, they tend to hunt around the light spectrum.

^ This. When HID's die, they start turning pink. The pinker the bulb, the deader it is lol

It can also be caused by letting your wife drive.

+1 Classic symptom of a bad HID bulb. Good thing HID's have been around for a couple of decades, lots of time to learn about issues.
