I recently had a new headlight installed on a 1999 Acura RL. The new one is a slightly different color, more yellow. The older one has a blue glow to it. OEM acura parts were used. Does anyone know what could be causing the lights to be different colors? ---

I’d wager that the other one is not OEM, probably either a generic faux HID bulb, or a Sylvania Hyperwhite or some along those lines. ---

Or you may have a bad connection on the new one. Be sure to check the ground. ---

Headlamp or headlamp assembly?
