Default Help!! From 8000k to 6000k automatically ?? Huh ..

Ok I got a question.. I recently got my new mod-express bulb.. cause the other one went out.. I'm supposed to have 8000k HIDS and the other one I had previously works fine it was 8000k too. ok so when I turn them on they both look blue but after I drive for awhile the new bulb ( passenger side) turns pure white like 6000K and the drivers is still got the deep bluish tint 8000k and I can actually see the difference. does anyone know whats wrong besides sumone f-ed up and but the wrong bulb in the 8000k bulb pack or mis-labled the box which was clearly marked 8000k H11.. I thought my eyes were playin tricks on me but its real...

Sounds like it is a different K. Send it back, or just get two new ones that will match.

LoL its the other way around, blue is dimmer. Pure white are brighter 4300k-6000k.

You know that it takes a bit of time for the color to burn correctly, right? So it's going to take about 200 hours for the bulbs to get to the color they're supposed to be. If it's really off, then you may have a different temp bulb. But if it's just slightly off, then you'll need to let the bulb burn more to match the old one. I had to replace a bulb, and my bulbs don't match at startup, but they do after they're warmed up.
