Is everything installed properly? If so, I would call the company you bought them from before you use them any more than you already have. They may have you return them if it is in fact some sort of defect.

I highly recommend getting rid of them and putting in halogen bulbs as HID's aren't mean to be used in halogen reflector housings.

I know they arent....but the bulb actualy makes the fogs useful when im in the mountains and hid bulbs dont get as hot as my original one plus it would cost me $40 to buy good bright normal bulbs instead of $35 hid bulbs..my friend this this to is car and they look super good

check the voltage they are getting. i know 3k hids are green at first but go to yellow when they warm up. idk. i always found those to have a hint of green to them but yours do have a bit more, plus they are cheap ebay so who knows

your wiring i dont think is made to handle 55, but im saying use a meter and make sure there is no reistance in the circuit. check available voltage at the bulbs and make sure its correct. and if its not, then pm me.

im very good at electrical and currently in classes for specifically electrical for cars. im wondering if your not getting all the power you neeed to get to operating temp. but i have a feeling you just got bad ballasts

this is how they are wired...i grounded those to black wires like that to hold them together....they work when they arent grounded as long as they are touching...i had to add that circle rind thing because there was no plug like the red wire has

your wiring might be fine and its just bad ballasts or the ballast could even be perfectly find and thats how they look. ive seen 3k hids look like that before.

The voltage is 35w? You do know that the "w" stands for WATT and not volt right?

You get what you pay for man. You buy the cheapest you can find expect to have the cheapest quality as well. You can't be cheap and picky at the same time.

i dont think its the voltage, the bulb is set to just that,the first time i tried yellow bulbs on my fog lights they came out green because the yellow fogs had yellow film over it and caused it to turn green, i took off the film and i have clear fogs with yellow hids. my experience is that lense that people put on head lights and fog lights to tint it yellow. but the yellow tint on 3k bulbs give it the doo doo green hue.

well sense you have already returned teh bulbs, wait and try to new ones to see how they look, but as for taking the color off, remove the lenses and soak them in a container of acitone (spelling?) i had headlight lenses that were yellow tinted on the inside, and that eat the stuff right off (only do this on glass lenses though) then i washed them with warm water and dawn, then put them back together.
