Strangeness...headlight purple...

[RSpanner]

One night last week got in the M3 and noticed against the garage door a purple color...Drove to our destination, and had my wife get out and look. The lower bulb in the headlight cluster was Purple. I like it...but how the hell did that happen. We could not figure it out.
Got home, and it was gone, just the normal "white" lights...Some type of glitch?

KenC,,,why is my post about one purple light funny...will it is in a sense, but do you know why it happened?

the phosphor for the LEDs has failed.

I've never seen this before, but it sounds like an appointment at a Tesla service center is in order to replace it. They will have to remove the front end to get to the headlight.

MCM3, what did you disagree with that I said?

Did Tesla replace it under warranty? Mine is doing the same thing...

“White” LEDs are basically “blue” LEDs with a yellow phosphor over them. Sounds like the yellow phosphor got damaged somehow

YES, mobile service did replace it in 20 minutes.
