Re: hid lights question

If the bulb is changing colors, it's a bulb problem. Not sure what you are asking in the second part of the question. The bulb should be replaced with what the vehicle calls for.

Cool Re: hid lights question

I have the same car as well as hid's. I had the hi/low bulbs at first and replaced them with 6000k non hi bulbs. You just dont have a hi beam thats the only difference. Dont go cheap with the bulbs! You get what you pay for.
