Did you wax your headlight as well? I think the wax has something to do with the refraction of the Xenon. It does apprear that my Xenon is not as bright as before. I have my bimmer for about a year. Additionally, the headlight plastic also plays a role. Stone chip on the headlight plastic may also plays a role, too.

Well, the other night I was traveling back from
Birmingham, AL and I noticed that my xenons don't
appear to be as white as they once were.
They have more of a yellowish tint to them.
I have a little over 2300 miles and I was wondering is this normal
for the lights to do this the more and more they are used?
When I first turn them on they are still a blueish/white color but,
as they warm up they start to look more like halogens
but nothing like the fogs.
Does any of this make sense?
Hope so.
All responses GREATLY appreciated.
Please state if your Xenons look like this.

Thanks, Sean
