Colour difference in Xenon headlight

/ 9-5 (9600) / 2006 / 3. Electrical System / Lighting and signalling systems / Fault diagnosis, fault symptoms / Colour difference in Xenon headlight

Background

Correct Xenon lamps have been replaced in error.

Fault symptoms

When this type of discharge bulb (Xenon) becomes older a thin coating is created inside. This coating will change the visible colour spectrum from white to blue during the first year.

Procedure

The Xenon lamp must not be replaced due to the difference in the colour of the light. The light quality is equally the same for the new lamp as it is for the old one, despite a weak difference in colour.

No warranty claims are accepted for unnecessarily replaced Xenon lamps.
