Color change is not a noted issue with aging LED.

‘Xenon’s’ are arc lamp burners rather than incandescent bulbs. The components of HID are the xenon filled short-arc burner, the high voltage ballast and the higher voltage igniter.

You have HID (Xenon) bulbs. As these age, they will change color, usually turning a pinkish/yellowish color. just replace the bulbs (both sides).

Also, I can tell you have HID's from the photo you posted. LEDs have both lenses on each side and they are all illuminated with high or low beams. HIDs only use the outer lenses - the inner lenses are "dummies" to maintain the proper "BMW Look".
