Right side headlight has a green color...
 
Its me again, the one who was replacing his headlights.

Well what happened is I broke the right headlight on my jeep. I replaced
them with some Silver Stars and noticed that one had a green color to it, so
i took it back. When I put the replacement in, it was still green. The
likelyhood of getting 2 defective lights is slim. So im thinking it has
something to do with the wireing or something. Does anyone have any insight
to this?

Note: when i broke it, it was raining, so maybe it got some water up in the
bulb and some how messed things up...

Thanks!

Brett

Swap sides, being very careful not to touch their glass glob.

Like some bulbs you might have to give it some time to burn in
and remove any impurities in the filament.

Give it a few days of operation then check again.

Each headlight has it's own ground tag I believe. I would be suspecting
the ground for that light has a dirty connection.
