[coco_m3]

Thanks,
Jeff

My Z4 xenons were blueish. I assume these will be the same..

BMW Xenons start a tad yellow until the break-in at about 150-200hrs. Then they turn white. The blue comes from the projector optics.

the projectors are blueish/whitish but the DRLs are kind of yellow. No worries, larryn will have pics up soon when his new bulbs get in, right larynn?

I am talking about the light output itself. The slight yellow color of the light is evident on all Xenon bulbs when they are new. The change to white is the colorshift.

BTW, BMW is using DS1 bulbs in their cars of late.

If you ever change a failed Xenon bulb, you can see the difference immediatey.
