Make sure not to run the new light bulb too long without using the other one. If you do not, they will have a different color later on, as the burn time will be different for each bulb.
Just my 2 cents.

I wouldn't worry too much about the colorshift from having one in one side. It'l probably take 25 hours of constant use before you'll be able to tell a difference in color.

Also, the bulbs in your IS have had plenty of time to burn in and as they do, they'll get closer to that 6000K color. You can tell a huge difference when your stock HID bulbs are new v. the 6000K bulbs.

Looks the same to me. I hope you didn't go out an buy unnecessary light bulbs when you already had a good pair.

the company I bought it from replys

The bulbs is not suppose to be brighter because the color temperature is brighter, the 6000K is only a bit whiter. look at the base of the bulbs and it will tell you the serial number and the part number from Philips.. also if you look in the center of the capsule, it has a red stain and the ceramis is purple.. remember different housing the light will come out different.. let me know if you have any questions.. I personally think the difference between the OEM and 6000K ultinon is pretty subtle not dramatic.
