i truly enjoyed my mini for about a week now. i notice the xenon lights are not as bright as my coworker's 3-series. maybe something is wrong with my lights...as my xenon light casts its light on the snow, it looks a little yellow especially the lower portion of the light. first, i thought my fog lights were on but they weren't. the light looks more white with a blueish purple tint when i first turn on but it would turn less white and toward a yellow tint the longer i have it on. can someone with the xenon light sheds some light for me (no pun intended). the light looks white with the blueish purple tint from outside the car even after many hours of operation.

 

i think you're headlights are aimed too low. mine were aimed too low
from the factory too, so raised them. now I have very good illumination.
the color is blue at first, but once its warmed up the color changes
to a whiter/more natural light.
