Message The bulbs color shift after about 100 hours of use - they take on the bluish (philips) or purplish (osram) tint that they don't have when new. If you replace one bulb, i'd recommend replacing both, so you don't have different colors. If you only replace one, and the hids have color shifted, I'd recommend a 5000K bulb - they were originally designed for dealers who had to replace only one bulb after the pair had colorshifted.
