I noticed that our CX-9 GT casts a yellowish light, more like a halogen bulb, rather than a white light and it does not seem right. When I initially turn it on, the bulbs cast a really white light. But, after it settles down to full brightness, the bulb casts a yellowish light.
The vehicle, that the CX-9 replaced, was an FX35 and it cast a white light. I also have a 2007 VW GLI with Xenons and it, too, casts a white light. As far as I know, the FX35 and the GLI uses 4300K bulbs, which I think the CX-9 also uses. So, I'm a bit confused why the CX-9 casts a yellowish light.
I did notice, at one time, that the bulbs flickered when I turned it on. It hasn't flickered again but I'm wondering if that is a symptom that the bulbs are defective or are about to expire. Xenon bulbs are known to have long life and when I traded in our 7.5-year old FX35, the bulbs were still original. So, I haven't really experienced a xenon bulb expire and I would not know if a yellowish light is a symptom of that.
Anyone else have yellowish Xenon lights?
