My depo 36 driver side light seems to be turning a orange color. From a distance the color looks pretty close but behind another car I see the light going from sort of blue to orange. My passenger light goes from dark blue to bright blue over bumps behind cars. Its really hard to tell in the day but I can tell at night. The cut off is also blurry with a orange border and the passenger side is sharp and has a blue border. Is this normal??
Im sure it wasn't like that at first when I bought them about a month ago.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

if u are talking about the cutoff line being orange, thats not so bad... it has to do with bending of the light. try having the hids on and wiggling around the one that is showin ornage.

but if u are talking about the light output to the road then u might have a defected/burnt bulb...

I think i have this for my fog set.... I dropped one of the bulbs on the carpet by accident when i was switching my low beam HID set to my fogs. Now one of my lights is slightly white'ish while my other one is aqua color. They both used to be 7500k... its not that bad though but they look like 2 diffrent HID temps now. I would say you probably have a defective/damaged bulb.
