Got a question, my passenger side HID fires up no problem but as it is warming up it turns pink. Would I be safe to assume it just needs a new bulb? I don't think it is the ballast but has anyone ever had this happen? And I will be changing the light myself as the dealer quoted me $462.00 parts and labor..... I have done some reading here about changing the light and as much of a pain it will be for lack of room I will not pay a dealer that money for a light change!

That's insane to pay that. Yes your HID is going. Mine turned a purplish color when it went. Do both at the same time and shop around. Most retailers charge about $150.00 for a D1S bulb. You can try the vendor on here and I'm sure they can hook you up for much less than that. They aren't too hard to change.
$169 a pair in calgary??!! Wow. I need to visit that place. Welcome aboard man. If you ever have any questions, don't be scared to pm Matt or I or any of the other local guys and girl.
So here is an update. Went to Concept 1 and picked up my TWO D1S bulbs for $169.00 and came home to install them. Thought it was going to be a hassle but it was actually really easy. Changed out both bulbs in about 20 min. Again.... the dealer wanted $462.00 parts and labor for one headlight...... maybe they thought I wanted the whole headlight assembly....
Problem with aftermarket, you never know what quality you'll get. I've been burned enough times by sub-standard aftermarket garbage....
I had the whole headlight assembly replaced under warranty due to a faulty auto levelling motor. I found the new HID was brighter than the original one. Unfortunately I didn't think to ask for the old part(s). Anyways, no big deal, some time has passed and they look the same. In the meantime, I bought a spare from a forum member here to add to the rest of the parts in my garage.
