H.i.d fog light problem.. please help

So i was driving and for some odd reason i realized something off on my car from the reflection of another car. As soon as i get home i realize one fog light is bright blue which is how it should be and the other foglight is as if its the originial bulb. What just happened??

Switch the bulbs around aren't going to help. If you went w/ a HID kit using generic bulbs you'll run into these problems.

I would suggest some high quality replacement bulbs such as MTEC or Philips

well i do know that when HID bulbs are going to burn out, they start to turn a pinkish color. if these were 6000 or 8000k bulbs to start with, if they are dying they could appear to be more bluish
