HIDs don't last forever as far as keeping light. They colorshift after a while. I don't know why it would colorshift HIGHER on the kelvin scale though...my OEM 4300k shifted slightly yellow, but still white overall.
Time to get new bulbs. |

Actually with time it color shifts to a higher Kelvin Temp, and thus, light output decreases with time.
