Replacement bulbs for Xenon-headlight equipped cars


I have heard that Replacement bulbs for Xenon-headlight equipped cars might not match colors, making the headlights appear as if they are shining in two different colors. In order to get the same matching color characteristics, should I always replace both Xenon bulbs at the same time, in pairs?

No! At $180 a bulb, that can be a big mistake. All that's needed is to allow the new bulb operate for a week or so as they take some time to break in and develop their characteristic factory "blue" color.
