Default Philips Bulb difference??

I ended up changing my HID bulbs and I replaced them with the same bulbs that were in there before: Philips D2R 35W but these particular bulbs seem more yellow than blue. Was I supposed to be more specific in the bulb I asked for?

When I compare the old bulb to the new, the only difference is very last number.

The old bulb reads like this:

Philips Germany
D2R 35W 85126
O3U DOT 8a12

Your bulbs are fine, dont worry about it. They will color shift later and become more bluish.

i would drive with the lights on all day long to get towards the 100 hours. it will get more white as it ages. sounds weird but that's how hids are. they get purple when it's about to die.
