hey everyone

was wondering if anyone could help me with this issue i been having...i've installed hids in my car since i first got it....then i did the parking lights and then i added foglights and also installed hids but recently i replaced all the bulbs and noticed that the driver side lights (headlight, parking light, and fog light) all have a lighter color than the passenger side....checked the fuses and nothing was blown cause after i pulled out the fuses the whole thing turns off....need help...brought it to a few shops and all they was telling me was the bulb was no good...but then there was nothing wrong with the bulbs due to the fact that i tried on the passenger side and it worked fine....strange....

sometimes the bulbs will change colour over time...

did you swap bulbs side to side to see if the colour remains constant?

As thebarber said, try side to side. If the color change stays with the bulb, then it's a problem with the bulb. Otherwise it would be a ballast issue. Most companies that you purchase the kit from will replace the bulbs for free (you pay shipping to them), and they replace them as a PAIR.
