noticed just recently after starting car from cold,when switching headlights on they seem to have a yellow glow for about 2 seconds then shine with there normal blue/violet tinge.
could this be a sign of a partially discharged battery or a failing altenator :-\
sorry not very good at auto electrics and any advice would be helpful.
thanks in advance Noel :y

Sounds like they are HID headlights, in which case this is completely normal. they take a few seconds to warm up. :y

not sure whats fitted but its a standard 2.6 cdx ;)
checked the battery and its reading 12.40v and with engine running it reads 14.15v which sounds pretty healthy to me :y

NONE HID's have a 0 1 2 3 rotary level switch incorporated into the headlight switch HID's have auto level no don't have the dial :y

maybe someebody retrofitted HIDs :y

Believe F/L CDXs have HIDs as standard - certainly the ones I've seen have been fitted with HIDs :)

mine has level adjusters on rear wishbone ;)

mine has level adjusters on rear wishbone,
HID level switches are on the front nearside lower wishbone & rear nearside radius arm. Self levelling suspension where fitted has a level switch on the rear offside radius arm. :y
