Ive changed both my xenon bulbs as one off them started to go pink. Anyway when i put the lights on they have the xenon effect {bluey colour} but after a few seconds that fades away and to me they just look like halogens.

Anyone no why??? TIA

The initial start up is bluer than when it is on. but looking like halogens it shouldnt... what color spectrum bulb did you get? you'll need at least 4350K and above.

They will look like halogens when you are stood up close to the car - walk about 30-40m away from the car, and they will look blue/purple
