HID Help

I'm not to good with HIDs. But one of mine isn't warming up properly and its supposed to be white and its more like purple. It's a 6k Hi-Low Kit. What should I do in terms of troubleshooting...

switch the bulbs and see if it still happens or if it changes sides, if it follows the bulb then... get a new bulb.

If it stays on the same side might be a ballast going out.
