Default question on the new light bulb

I went to the mechanic yesterday to get one new oem headlight, since only one was out. when he installed it , it looks like a warm yellow. my original looks white, blue color. he claims it is normal that it does not match, because a newer bulb will shine brighter, and eventually change to the blue white color. is that accurate?

There might be alittle difference in color but shouldn't be much. The bulb require a few minute to warm once turning on and should stable out. Are you sure you received an OEM HID BULB? There alot of aftermarket brands, and they also come in different colors/temp (ex. 4300, 5000, 6000k, 8000k)

You know, not so long ago I decided to change the lighting in my Lexus. When I turned to a car service for help, they told me about the site
Amazon Amazon
. With it, I was able to order bulbs for my Lexus. Once they were installed for me, I started working with the settings. It turns out that they can even be controlled using an application right in your smartphone. Cool, isn't it? I was able to set up a nice color in my car. Now my eyes don't get tired.
