Default Question to HID experts: Bought Philips 5000k 35W 85122+ bulb

to replace my dimmed stock. Within 3-5 second from initial turn on, new bulbs changed color from bluish to yellowish and stayed like that from that point on. What did I do wrong? or perhaps it is normal for this brand?

Default Mind posting the final results? I've been looking to get the same bulbs...

But some people on here say OEM Osram 4300K are less yellow.

Default Half price of Ebay - you draw conclusions...how about that?...:)

I am probably going to sell them cheap and get OEM or Osram. They bright, but not blue enough for me.

Default Heh, so I was right...

Doesn't make sense, does it? 5000k are supposed to be more blue than 4300k, but aren't. Get Osram 4300k and call it a day. I wanted 5400k+ until I saw them on the road... nice, but a bit too much blue.
