S8 Xenon Fault
Just finished work and fired up the S8, turned on the lights and my mate stops me and says get out and look, theres something odd going on with your lights. One of the lights looks like a normal Xenon, the other looks like a proper halogen. Its really bugging me, it can't be a ballast out as then there would be no light at all, am I right? Could it be the bulb? Its just gone a really yellow colour whilst the other side continues to be a really nice shade of whitish blue light. Its really spoiling the look of my car and VAG COM isn't showing any faults. I'm just hoping its nothing expensive.
 Edit: I have the proper Xenons from factory.

Called Audi for a laugh and they want £163 for a new headlight bulb!! Will get it from somewhere else now that James has told me what type I need, its D2S if anyone else needs one. Cheapest I found was about £40 or £80 a pair, not sure weather to stick to OEM 4.3k or go for 6k ?
P.S Not sure if it is the bulb, just going to try and swap it over and see if that fixes it, in fact. Will see if the 335 has the same bulb then will swap um over, that has a BMW warranty anyway so will get a new one from them, shh.

Swapped the bulbs around and yes it was just the bulb that was faulty, what a relief. Called A8 Parts in the end and new one should be here Saturday
