Default Pass headlight is very dim and very purple.

Hi guys,

the passenger headlight turned very dim out of nowhere and the color is a faint purple with hardly any light output. any idea on what might be the problem? BTW, this is for an 01. Thanks in advance.

its a dying bulb...

hid bulbs will start to color shift as much as they can towards 30k kelvin temp before dying out.

a ballast will make the bulb flicker and eventually just stop working all together
