Anyone else getting Aqua glow from housing?
My 6k HID kit glows an aqua color from the housing most noticable around the edges of the light. It drives me crazy because the bottom fogs that are 6k as well are much blue'er. From 15 feet away the light output looks the same on both top and bottom but when you get upclose for some reason the headlight output looks a bit aqua blue. My guess would be because the housing is slightly yellow'ed from age. Im just wondering if anyone else is experiencig this and if so do you think switching to 5000k would eliminate this issue since its just pure white.
BTW its not the HID kit that makes it this color because i switched out the bulbs and ballast with my sisters car and the issue remains unchanged.

Kind of hard to tell what you're talking about by your description, but I'm going to agree with silvaIS and say the difference you see is probably from the differences between projector low beam and reflector fogs. The aqua you are referring to is, I'm guessing, the color in the cutoff line. It explains why at certain times they look alike, but other times you see blue.

No the aqua color is a glow that you see on the edges of the housing and the light in itself looks like it has a hue of green when reflecting off the floor. It look much bluer when my fogs are on. Il try to take a picture at night. i did consider the projector lense having something to do with it but second guessed it since my friends m45 has reflective fogs and projector head lights and the color match seems spot on. Then again i do hear a lot of sucky feedback on the 06 projector lense's output and what not.
