xenon colour change?

just had replacement xenon unit fitted to my summer 05 build mcs, by dealer
the bulb appears white against older "blue" unit do they age and change colour [doubt it]
have bmw changed bulb spec? is it brighter whiter since july 05
should i ask dealer for old and recover bulb [self leveling shot, bulb was fine] as i liked the blue effect, or is this a bit of a job

They will change colour over time ! But if it is from white to blue, i don't know... !

Over time the Gas inside of the bulb will make the bulb change colour, if you buy or get the dealer to supply another bulb for the other lamp they will match, I would always replace the bulbs for Xenon units in pairs.
