Xenon adaptive headlight turned pink/ purple?!?
I have an 06 E90 with the xenon adaptive headlight. I got in a small wreck requiring to change the left headlight. It was 800$ for a brand new oem headlight. It worked fine and the color of the projector or light was white. 3 months later it started getting pinkish 2 days ago. Now it is a full BRIGHT pink purple color!
It kinda looks like the terminator lol What could be the problem? |

How much is the bulb any way? I'm going to the dealer Friday and if it's not that expensive I can get it from tischer and do it my self.

On a side note, if you replace the bulb and it begins to fail again quickly, you may have a faulty igniter that's causing the bulbs to burn out. My TL had a bad igniter resulting in premature failure of the Xenon bulb ultimately turning it into a pink strobe light on the freeway.
