headlights changing color!

I was driving today and noticed my left hid light to have a pinkish color to it. I checked it back in my garage and initially when I switch it on its white then after 20 seconds its starts turning pink! What gives?

HIDs will change color depending on the life and if it needs to be replaced. Might as well take it to the stealer.

If it's still part of warranty, take the car to the dealer. Otherwise, I say upgrade, there are vendors here who sell upgradable HID bulbs. 4300k are stock, for best output.
