I just installed my 3000k HID fog light on my IS350 last night. It is xentec. Not sure why it looks so green. But then this is my first 3000k fogs I ever purchased. Many people asked me why it is green. But then they only saw it in the day time.

 

Bump anyone know if its defected or not. If it is i will need to replace it asap.

 

3000k should only be green at startup. Do you have some blue overlays or something?

 

There is no overlay at all. Is there something wrong with my fogs? I had my car on for 10+ mins on the pictures on top. Seems like the green isnt going away?

 

Are they yellow at night? I can't think of any reason why they would be that green all the time.

 

nope. its always the same color as pictured above. It doesn't change even at night. This sucks. defected kit FTL. xentec FTL!

 

are you sure after the bulbs warm up they dont turn yellow? 3000K bulbs are just 4300k or 5000k bulbs made with yellow glass..... upon start up the bulb will burn hotter... thus giving off blue light, mix that with the yellow glass and you got green.

contact your seller and complain?.... they may have given you the wrong type of bulbs... they do have bulbs to get a green color...

 

Even though I turned it on for over 30+ minutes. It still has alittle bit of green in them. Its not like pure yellow like other HID fogs I have seen.

 

return and ask for a new one.

 

I installed my 3000k kit from MobileHID, one of the sponsers, a few weeks ago and they are definitely yellow and the output is definitely yellow. What is the color on the road at night?

 

it looks more yellow at night but then it still has a hint of green in it. I will provide picture soon.

Do you have a picture of yours?

 

I'll try to take some pics but there are a bunch of pics on the board of the MobileHID 3000k fogs and mine looks just like those.

 

I think you may need to let them burn in.

 

Yeah I agree, if the kit has less than 10(?) hours on it, they have tendencies to look "off". Lots of 8000k and 10000k kits will look more baby blue than a deep blue and it just takes a few hours usage for the color to come out. Same for many 12000k kits: usually purple, lots of people have bought 12000k kits looking for purple, only to find that it starts up deep/aqua blue, but after a few hours usage, they will shift to its normal color.

If you've only used them for a little while, given them time to "break in". If you have at least 10 hours on your bulbs, then at least you have another scenario checked off the list.

 

ok thanks guys. I should wait about a few weeks. and if it still shows green, I will return it.
