Default HID problem?

Just installed an o-nex 3000k fog light kit into my truck and I have some questions about it. How yellow is this kit supposed to be? All the pictures I have seen have super yellow but mine are really pale. Also, my passenger side bulb has a different color to it all together with a rainbow like effect depending on what angle you look at it. Do I have bad bulbs?

Here's two pictures:

The light on the passenger side looks more like 3k. I don't know what's going on on you driver's side.

However, I have heard of a "break-in" period regarding HID's. I'm not 100% on this, but I've heard it something like 100 hours.

i see alot of this in my dealership, and most of the problem is that the housing is not level causing the bulb to sit in a different position and u r seeing the color at a different angle. you can see this on many hid cars, that the driver side always sits higher and seems more blue than the p/s, this is normal in many cases and how the manufac. wants it set up

so the saga continues, the bulbs worked perfectly for a couple days then they both quit, then one decided to work again but the other wouldn't come on. I decided to buy a relay in case it was a stock wiring problem. I followed the directions exactly and now neither will come on. I can hear the relay clicking but no lights.
