Default Are Xenon Lights suppose to look yellow after a while?

When I turn my lights on there whiteish blue and stay like that until like a few minutes after im driving. Also my 350z Is the touring edition so they came stock. Are they suppose to look like regular halogen after a while? Or does this mean I have to replace these lights soon?

yes, they start to turn yellow and are not as intense. Time to change.

i think they might be fine and u just got used to the color. Turn your lights on and step away couple yards and see if they look like halogens
