the left side is running low on rice you need to top it off

edit: seriously, the color shifts as the bulbs heat up. Its possible that your left bulb flickered once or twice as it turned on, which would have heated it up to normal operating temp or beyond rather quickly, thus making them look different. After a few minutes, it will even out.

Are they really 'HIDs' or are they just bulbs you got at the store or on ebay that say XENON HID and are painted blue?
