LED Bulbs fade/change color?
Hey guys
Purchased a couple of LED bulbs for the "parking lights" in my headlights 2-3 months back. They were "Xenon White" and had been that way for a while, until the past couple of days.
I noticed because BEFORE, when I turned the car's "parking lights" on, they would be white with a hint of blue and would look like this:
If I turn these parking lights on alone NOW, they appear the same, EXCEPT for when I turn on the lowbeam light as well, then they look like this:
(parking light LEFT; lowbeam light RIGHT)
Does anyone know why this is happening?
2 clicks on our headlight switch = parking lights alone = appear white like supposed to
BUT
1 click (auto) or 3 click (all lights) = parking AND lowbeams = parking lights turn yellow...
As you can see in the later photos, the bulbs themselves are still showing WHITE not YELLOW, but there is some weird reflected effect that shows a yellow hue. I believe it's separate from the lowbeam lights since that section still shows white but I don't know what's wrong Could it be dirty or something?

Hahahah thank you very much. I was not aware of the foglight switch and had never used it before. I took the car into a shop the other day and since then it's had this problem. I guess one of the mechanics flipped the fogs on. I couldn't see the fog light bulb from the front so didn't think it was because of that and was very confused.
Thank you very much for the simple solution loll
