Those lights almost look stock. I take it they aren't supposed to be that yellow? I figured it would be closer to a blueish white like most 6000k aftermarket HID's.

Those have to be defective bulbs or something. I have the same set up basically (6k Garax in the lows, 6k HID Extra in the fogs) and there is definitely not that much of a difference in the color.

Just called and they're closed the 24th-26th so no word until Thursday. Crossing my fingers that I can get them to send out a replacement set..

I was about to say the projector lens (the sphere shape inside your headlights might have a tint. But I have 6000K HIDs and they don't have a tint, so i'm confused why yours are like that.
