Default Front Left Headlight Has Different Color Temp?

Hey guys,

First post here. Had my MINI for a year or so now, but needed the headlights buffed up and cleared. Took it to a good shop and had it done, but soon after noticed my front left headlight was more yellow (halogen-y) than the front right. They are both supposed to be xenon.

Here's my questions:
Is it possible that a ballast is weakening?
Is it that I've never noticed it is not the correct bulb?
Is it that the bulb itself is dulling?

I've added some photos so you know what I'm talking about.







Thanks in advance!

Hello, its the Xenon bulbs , when they go bad , they start to change color. Buy them in pairs to match them.

Thanks
