My OEM headlights turned bluer as they aged and had reduced light output. My car had about 57k on it when I replaced them.

@mikedtrd - Thanks for the feedback!
@vraa - Generally Philips bulbs get "crisper" as they age. However, the stock 4300k d4S bulbs are definitely on the "yellowish" side - even when compared to OEM D2S 4300k bulbs.

Oh I meant the headlight assembly itself. I tried having the dealer polish/buff out the headlamp but it's still yellow

oh, gotcha! That happens with age due to the sun. I'm assuming you have your factory HID bulbs installed?
