Headlight
I had post a thread in the discussion
http://www.rx-8forum.com/showthread....&threadid=8076 It is about my xenon light I'm thinking, there might be a problem with my light, it look really yellowish Please, can people from Australia who got there RX-8 already, which had a Xenon light ( leather pack ), check if your light look yellowish like my one, or it's look really white with a bit of blue. This would be a great help before I'm going back to Mazda and ask for a replacement. Thank mate! |
This is my first car with xenon lights however to my eyes my lights definitely come up as a bright white with blue tinge. Colour is always a little subjective but I hope this helps.

thklam,
I agree with aus rx8, my Xenons are definately a bright white with a hint of blue. P.D.U |
So there must be some problem with my xenon light
For my car, the light came out with a bit of yellow at the top From outside, looking straight into the light, nothing wrong but if I see the light reflected from the wall, ( like the photo I took ), I can clearly seee the yellow part. |
Sometimes, it's doesn't seem that bright, I turn on the fog light and compare it, not much different, is like my xenon light got the same type of light as the fog light. ( It should have a big different on the colour and brightness between the xenon and fog light )

For main beam - H9 (65W)
Low Beam - Halogen - H7 (55W) - Xenon - D2S (35W) Parking Light - W5W (5W) Fog Light - H11 (55W) |
I just wanna ask this question one more time.
Is your xenon headlight look like this?? With a bit of yellow at the top, or... |
Or look like this, not much yellow at the top ( I took this by covered one part of the light )

That yellow tinge at the top could be refraction of the light (like a rainbow), and could indicate that the light isn't quite properly focussed or adjusted. Get it checked out at the next service.
|
i suppose the yellow is a reflection from the Curve of the Low Beam Projector lens on your Xenon.
|
NO NO
is not from low beam, I did try to cover up the low beam, but no different, the part I covered is the main beam I did ask them to check it for my first service, they said ther are nothing they can do |
My lights have that yellow tinge right at the edges like your photo, but my non technical opinion is that it is probably perfectly normal. Something to do with the shape of the bulb or some type of refraction of the light at the edges I would expect. I'm not concerned.:cool:
|
Actually
I think my headligt are out of alignment since I see there are 2 layers at the top clearly |
