Do I have different headlights?

Bought a 2019 M2 Competition last night with 19,230 miles. Wife and I drove to breakfast this morning, and she mentioned my headlights look like they are different colors. I know the car was backed into early in its life, dealer disclosed it.

The two lights have a different date. The right side doesn’t have the same obvious BMW part number that the left one does, but it’s also older. I found a document in the car that says it was QC’d in port July-2018. Can anyone tell if these match?

I'm thinking the alignment is off.

Mainly because there was only 2 headlight options for the car and their DRL design is different, you can't miss them.

Since you have LED version, that rules out that the bulbs are different.

It's possible the LEDs have color shifted but I feel it's way too early for that.

She's probably seeing some purple/blue vs crystal white on the other light?

Park you car facing a white wall (or garage door) with you lights on at night, and then take a picture of the white wall
