HID Bulb Different Color?
 
On my 01 civic EX, I have Xenon HID kits and the bulbs I have are 8k (hint of blue but not too much). Lately when I turn on my HID's during the day and drive behind cars, I can see the reflection off the bumber. I noticed that my driver side light is more of a white-ish looking light while my passenger side is the correct color, like blue-ish (like a how 8k bulb looks). At night it's hard to tell the difference since it's so bright, but during the day you can tell. I've changed the bulb before on the driver side and it's still the same. I'm guessing it's the power supply? Am I correct? And if I am, if I swap power supplies from passenger to driver side, then that means the passenger side bulb is going to look white? Can someone confirm with me if this is the issue?

Might be a ballast going out? Has it always been like this? Switch the ballasts around and to be sure whether it's the ballast or bulb.

Did you buy them off ebay? If so this is a common problem.

it mite just be the angle of your headlights creating the illusion of being slightly different because the right side has more glare then the left its designed that way to reflect off of road signs its reversed in right hand drive countries. try looking at them dead center to know for sure.
