Default Need help with headlight issue

Problem: I just bought my 07 95k. I went to a store. Got out to look at the lights and the driver headlight was off (set on auto and the passenger headlight is on)

I go and manually switch off the lights and switch them on. Both lights come on but the driver side takes a few seconds.

While they are both on, the drive light seems to flicker slightly and has a yellowish tint to it while the passenger light is true white
​​​​​
what is the issue?
Thanks

Going to follow, have almost the same issue.

Only difference is that my lights have the same colour when I switch the lights on instead of set on auto.

I think in your case one of the xenon lights is dying and need to be replaced.

i have been having the exact same problem for some months, say maybe 2 or so, it went away and now it is back again, I think it’s the bulb just on its last legs. Or it could be a wire is loose but I think the former is more likely.

My money is on your #2 relay box going out. If you find replacing the bulbs and fuse does nothing to solve the issue, this is it. Don’t even bother to replace the ballasts as it is very rare for them to fail.
