Headlight Problems
Both headlights are polished and clear and look the same during the day. But at night I noticed the passenger headlight is turning brown while the drivers is still bright white. You can see the difference in the pic but its more noticeable in real life. Also the drivers has a random soft flicker.
Both headlights are stock original factory with original factory bulbs no mods. I don't get it. Bulbs going bad? Dirt getting into the housing??

Several years ago I switched to Osram CBI bulbs that I bought from ClubLexus sponsor Xenon Depot, and am very happy. Be aware that there are a lot of counterfeit HID bulbs for sale on eBay, Amazon, and elsewhere so if you see prices that are too good to be true, you are probably buying a knockoff.

I don't think you can run LED bulbs on a car that came factory with HID.
the LED bulb market is always moving and I wouldn't be surprised if they did make an LED bulb compatible with the factory HID ballast. I haven't seen one myself though!
if you do accidentally touch the bulb glass with your fingers (the oils on your hands will cause premature failure), you can clean it up with rubbing alcohol and a lint-free towel.

Those are the original bulbs? Wow thats some longevity! Wonder if your on the original ballasts too. I went with Morimoto XB35's when i needed new bulbs. Half the price of Osrams or Phillips and a pretty reputable company. Been working great for almost a year now. Very happy with them.
