Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Car has litronic according to build sheet. 601 Litronic headlights.
One seems to be a yellowish colour the other blueish. Not scientific I know but visibly different. Was fine the last time I looked at them.
Any advice or guidance appreciated.
Cheers

Looks like the UV protection has worn off one of them. You can either buy a kit or use your own methods to take the headlight back to clear plastic then apply a UV lacqueur to protect it and stop it yellowing.
Hey Alex,
Headlights are newly restored using 3M system So lenses are perfect or as good as can visibly be!
Thought it was an electrical type issue. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced it.

Yep that's it. One is yellowish the other has a blue tint to it.
Replacement bulbs (if that's what the issue is) looks like a minefield. Soem articles saying they are D2S and others they are H7.
Might be an opportunity to upgrade them. Can anyone recommend the correct type of bulbs. Happy to go a bit cooler than the existing ones. Say 6K. Had a look around and did not find an LED replacement that would simply drop in.
That would be ideal.
These look like they might be a direct replacement for the OEM Philips bulbs.

As they're litronics they'll be d2s. But easy to pop the headlight out to confirm the type.
But regarding the colour changes this is a definite sign one of the bulbs is on its way out.
