I've had one xenon bulb replaced on our 2003 under warranty. The buld began to change color, and was more of a deep purple color than the white color of the other bulb. I first noticed it when my wife was driving behind me and I saw it in the rear view mirror. When I pulled the car up to our garage with the door closed, you could really see it. Our garage door is white, so that helps.
The dealer said that a change in color or intensity is a sign of impending failure. We also have xenons on our 2004, but no problems with them.
Good luck.
Dennis
