Xenon lights now different colours

Just got back from the dealers had day light running lights fitted.
and a few other jobs that they missed when i bought it.

When i pulled onto the drive and stop in front of the garage it was very noticeable that the headlights where now different colours.

the drives side has a redder tinge to the light.

would you suspect voltage drop from wiring in the running lights/ knocked something whilst doing
or are my my 13 d4 bulbs wearing out already.

The pink one is about to fail. Had the same on my sport a few years ago. A couple of days after i noticed it, the bulb went out altogether

Hi photoscubaman,

I had the Land Rover accessory part number VPLAV0066

Cost me £523 fitted.

I looked at installing myself and the price buying the kit. was still over £300 plus vat.

having downloaded the fitting instructions i didn't think price was too excessive as any future problems will be covered under warranty.

the lights are actually really bright and this doesn't come across in the photo.

update on the xenon bulb the dealer changed it for me free of charge.

i had only bought the vehicle 6 weeks prior as an approved land rover.
