Pink Headlight?
My drivers side headlight bulb seems to be turning pink...do I just need a new bulb or is this something expensive to replace?..

I recommend you change both at the same time. Otherwise the other one will start to go soon and they will be different in color again. Bulbs color shift as well so changing them at different time will show a visible difference in color until they reach the same color temp

Philips 85122+ 4300k is what I have changed to. Great bulbs, better output than the stock lamps as well. Osram xenrac cool blue have great reviews as well. They have the output of a 4300k bulbs but have a cooler color temp of about 5200k with no loss in lumens. They actually claim them to be 20% brighter than the competition

Once they start turning pink how long should they last until they die?

They may last for a solid 6 months still. But with significant reduction in light. What bulbs did you end up buying?

Best and trusted source for bulbs if anyone is interested. A lot of knockoffs out there with poor performance
