I ordered a 8000K ...H1 kit from XenonPros for my projector/halo headlamps.
After installing the kit the bulb lights up a nice bluish color for a few seconds and then turns a yellowish color . Very unsatisfied by this. Has any other member encountered this problem, if so, wud was done to fix it.

Thanx in advance.

 

Is is a Mculloch set of HID's? What is XenonPros

 

i installed 6000k and loved it. dont know why it should turn yellow. contact distributor.

 

if you expected them to be blue then you should have gotten the 10000k if they are as white as OEM hid then you got the wrong bulbs...

 

how much did you pay for them?

 

6000k white, 8000k white-blue, 10000k blue 12000k purple.

 

i am seeing yellow on my 5300..

 

5300K RULES

 

ive been told it takes up to 100 hours of them being on, for the true color to come out. they will turn blue, just drive with your lights on all the time so they can break in

 

True, give it time.

 

100 hours eh? mine start blue and turn yellow.. i think.. i dunno.

 

has anybody bought HID's on ebay ? any knock-offs ??

 

mine start out realllly blue when u first turn them on, but turn more whitish purple. they are 8000k so they should be alot bluer than they are, ill see what happens through time

 

they light up the raod white. but when i look into my headlight it shows a little yellow.. but stays white at the same time.. it's crazy... and knocks offs? are a no no

 

I shall try this then....

On another note.....does any1 know something about the colored headlamp overlays
does the film change the light color??

 

xenonpros.com is a website that sells the McCholluch kit. i bought mine from them almost a year ago. i have the 6000k lights on my car. from the time i installed them i never saw any yellow tint at all. when looking in my lights they have a slight blue tint to them. looking at the road they are a nice bright white.

i installed the same kit on my gf's mazda she had. no problems on hers either. the kit comes with a warranty so i would just contact xenonpros and see what you have to do to get another set of bulbs or get a different degree. past the 5000k the bulbs aren't as bright. 6000k-12000k actually gets dimmer. still better than halogen but not as bright as the 5000k.

 

when a REAL hid bulb (one with a return wire) is turned upside down, the color will change into yellowish. I am not sure if aftermarket HID bulbs have this return wire... if so, have it face downwards!

 

well the McCholluch HID kit is a REAL kit. and i don't have any yellow tint to mine. if he has the same kit as a lot of other people and he is the only one with this problem that we know of, then he should return the bulbs and get new ones.

he can't just turn the bulb around. the bulbs are made to fit the housing like a stock bulb would. tc's have 9006 bulbs. you can't turn them around.

 

ouch sounds like some china stuff

 

all kits are made in china, taiwan, or korea...
