Default Looking for 3000k bulbs that don't glow neon green! =/

So far I went through ebay bulbs that both glowed neon green.

Ordered a pair from XIDExtra that had one that was yellow and the other that glowed neon green. Emailed for a replacement and they were really fast with replacing me with a PAIR of bulbs. Only thing was that they both glowed neon green....fml.

I haven't been driving my car for the past week AND a half since I hate taking off the bumper and putting it back on. I've already done it about 4 times within a 2 month period.

I just was just ask you guys what other brands out there for a cheap price that have it **** yellow? Not trying to get the $200 bulbs from Japan. Thanks in advance.

Here's a pic of the picture I sent in for replacement, the left side is the good yellow one while the right side is the neon green. I just swapped out green bulb with BOTH new bulbs and they are BOTH basically the same color.

i say you should try to find a local place that sells the bulbs! I have ordered many bulbs online and they never came out right. I believe its because of the shipping process. The boxes tend to get toss around and etc!

it will be green for a while and turn to yellow after hours of using. it's pretty normal.

i had 3000k from HIDeXtra back then, pure yellow after a while. give it sometimes.

I've had the same issue with mine... I just thought mine was the fog light housing itself, perhaps it is worth looking in to... I even replaced the pair of mine and the same thing as yours happened - still one greenish...

going to try swapping bulbs side to side, see if it changes anything now...
