Headlight turned reddish?

Hey guys, so I got in my 04 coupe today after work and one of my headlights was reddish color.

I have strafes V2 projector headlights, everything has been fine until tonight. So one is a reddish color (driver side) and the passenger side is fine.

is the light (oem) going out? I havent done anything to the car beside drive it

thanks in advance

Your car got pinkeye. Mine is just getting over a cold itself. I couldn't tell if it was sneezing or someone installed a wastegate unbeknownst to me.

I have really big hands and I have no problem changing out bulbs. Jack up the car a bit, turn the wheel in, and pull back the wheel well liner. From there, its cake.

Your bulb is dying - will likely go out within a day or two.Here's the seller I got mine from a few months back. He's the most legit I was able to find: "hidbulbzrus" is his seller name - and if the link below doesn't work just search ebay for this:

"Pair(2)New OEM D2R Philips HID bulb 85126 German(Osram)"

64 bones, 9.50 shipping.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pair-2-New-O...item45ed19ee36

Cost me about 75 bones for both. And there are tuts here on how to remove the old and install the new (hint, you can just fold back the fender liner and go in from the wheel well to do this)

Doh! I hadn't read the thread closely enough to see that you'd already gotten yourself sorted :O

Appologies
