Question same OEM HID bulb, different color?

Has anyone replace their OEM HID bulb and have the light output in different color? I replaced my passenger bulb and the it looks greenish while the driver side is white. I checked with my Lexus tech and he said that the part # for the bulb is exactly the same for all 98-04 GS models.

Is this just because one is newer and one is older?

Yikes...at the price of 2 OEM HID bulbs, it's as much as an aftermarket kit.

Thanks for the info Henry.
