It is the bulbs, I swapped them and it was clearly the bulb. It had a pinkish outlook to it, very strange  but even if it is the car, what do you do?

I already have brand new headlights, 3 months old, is it the power going into them messed up?

You have no idea what you are talking about.
I have swapped driver bulb to passenger bulb -> color difference.
I have put different headlight units in (new and used) -> color difference.
I have put different "white" bulbs and 2 different HID units in -> color difference.

Kev,
Yep, passenger side. After all kinds of screwing aroiund (see above), I have come to the conclusion that it must be a eletrical issue of some kind.

sorry St. Pete, i was just joking around. to add something construcktive, what caused mine (pre 98) was a little metal bracket that surrounds the low beam and it was out of place.
sorry again.

Have any of you guys tried checking the voltage present in the harness with a voltmeter?
As well as checking wiring.
Just a suggestion...
