Default 2009 Puddle Light Replacement

My lights were working fine, but someone in a truck hit my mirror and broke the lens out of my puddle lights.
I bought an OEM part 68064948AA for replacement. The issue for me now is that my other light is a blue tint and this one is white. This should not have happened since the part number ended in AA. This means that it is the exact same specs and usually the same vendor. I was given the part number by the body shop at my dealer. I wonder if he gave me a part number for a different year??? It was tough getting the light into the mirror, wish that I had noticed before I replaced it......

Aren't all of them a white color temperature from the factory? Are you the original owner? If not, I suspect someone changed the original ones out for ones with blue LEDs or put blue covers on the bulbs.

I am the original owner. Some folks are saying that moisture will damage the LEDs and cause the light to turn blue. There could be some truth to that as I can see a small brown area in the bottom of the lens that indicates moisture on the fixture that has blue lights.
