What if your Hids looked like this???
Well, here's my Hids for your pleasure. Its a philips kit, with philips ballast, ignitors, and bulbs. My bulbs are supposed to be 6000k. You be the judge of that. Looks like one bulb is 6000k, but the other looks like 4300k. Both bulbs are labeled 6000k though.
I'm currently dealing with the shop that I bought this from. I just sent them an email of the lights. I called and talk to them before today. Hopefully they will replace my bulbs for me.
However, if they don't replace my bulbs for me. I'll make sure that this company that sells hids gets a bad name for selling shady HID kits. This company is pretty popular, and they actually have ebay auctions.
I was very upset before, but now I've calmed down a lot.
I switched the lights from left to right, and vice versa, so its not the wiring, ballast, or the ignitors causing the problem. So I did test out my situation before I jumped to any conclusions.
btw, the pic is not photoshopped. I'm not even that good at photoshop.
oh, and please don't suggest a retro fit to me. I know it will look 1000 times better with it, but I'd rather not deal with a retro fit. IMO the light output is fine, besides the colour difference of course.
Anyways, what do you guys think??

that's why you shouldn't buy shady kits. can you upload some pics of the bulb bases and the ballasts? i'd like to confirm that they are in fact philips products.
6000k philips bulbs should be labelled as 85122WX. if it says anything else or nothing at all, you got jipped.
also, if you were comparing those colors as if they were both supposed to be rated at 4300k, then you would have 1 philips 85122 (left) and 1 osram 66040 (right).
regardless, i'd be pissed if my headlights did that to me.
