Yep, it will gradually turn pink and become dim. Depends what colour temp. you are after (I believe the OEM colour is 4300k). I've fitted 5000k Philips Xtreme Vision xenons in the past and they were fantastic, you don't want anything too blue and tacky. I'd say it's best to replace them in pairs so they match.

Put your Reg in HERE
Shows that you need D2S bulbs but maybe someone can confirm as I don't have a Reg to hand. Literally lots of places you can buy from, here is one if you want decent branded http://www.hids4u.co.uk/d2s-xenon-hid-bulbs/ or there are plenty of cheaper alternatives
