Default Green Headlamps

Hello all! I just noticed today that some of the GX vehicles have a green tint to the front headlamps. Am I missing this on other GX's or was this a change made in the model?

Many thanks!

Default Mine has a greenish tint

My 04 lenses have a greenish tint. If you have the sport package they will have the smoked lenses.

Same here - my '05 has a slight green tint to the lens and the fog lights seem to have the same. Don't have the sport package.

i think it's just the angle you are looking. our SC and RX look pale green sometimes too, don't know why, but they are definitely clear. just tend to look that way under certain types of light . . . doubt they are actually green

I noticed it too, from the first day I saw the GX before I even ordered mine. I *loved* it... More so now with the Xenon kit from XenonDepot...

I wouldn't worry about, it doesn't in anyway affect the output of the light...

BTW - Green is VERY, VERY, slight tint, like a weak windex solution... (1 part windex, 7 parts water) how's that for an analogy...
