Right Zenon comes on yellow...help
One of my buddies has a C43 and his right side xenon light lights up blue like the left one but after two minutes turns into a yellow light while the left stays blue. Can anyone tell me why? I'd like to help him out. Thanks in advance for your help.

The Xenon gas is somewhat depleted in that bulb. Many times a replacement will also be a different color for 20-30 hrs of use

Are you saying it will turn blue after 20-30 hours of use? I should have given more details, the one that turns yellow is anew bulb because the old bulb was doing the same thing so we took it out and found a little crack in it so we changed but the new one does it too.

A new bulb will be a different color than an older bulb! That is why I said it takes 20-30 hrs before the bulbs will even out its color. Even different brands of bulbs will have slightly diffeent colors!

M B Doc,
I'm going to run the lights for 20-30 hours but I'm curious as to why the light is blue when it is first turned on? It stays blue for a minute or two but then slowly turns yellow. I switched both bulbs around and the new one is still changing to yellow. Just curious but i'm still waiting to get 20-30 hours.
