Thanks I cant remember exactly what they looked like when I first got my car 6 years ago but I will wait and see what happens. All I know is that I got 9006 bulbs for the middle lights and they used to mach my HIDs now they dont.

i just had an HID replaced and mine looks white compared to the original blueish color light i had. The other light is blue. Is this normal fo rthe new light to be white or do I have different bulbs?

Is it easy to remove the bulb or do i have to remove the whole light assembly to get the bulb out?

it's normal, that's why when you replace hid, you should replace both together. hid gets bluer over time until they die
