Driving around today I noticed that my lights reflection in the car's bumper ahead of me was looking skewed. I pull in at home, turn on the lights and low and behold my passenger side light is the nice crystal blue color I want but the drivers side is more yellowish...almost like a stock bulb.

Both ballasts are buzzing away. Both are DDM hookups. Anyone have any ideas? Wear and tear or something? I'll get a pic up here before too long.

usually means ballast is going out.

I had this happen and it turned out one of the bulbs were bad. DDM replaced the bulb free of charge. Not sure if they still have a lifetime warranty. Swap the bulbs between ballasts and it will confirm if it's a bulb or ballast.

I'll see what I can find. Thanks guys.

Update: check DDMTuning and turns out that it is a bulb and warranty issue. Waiting to see what the options are for resolving the matter.
