Is there any chance that water or some moisture might have gotten inside the headlight housing at anytime in the life of the car? It may just be that the housing is kinda dirty. I know my Fogs (of the same wattage) look much more white than my headlights, but my headlights are more white than yellow.

u sure they were brand new and you got from reputable source? Mine are pretty damn white, not as bright as corner lamps or PIAA driving lites, but pretty bright. If you wanna come over sometime at nite, we can compare

HID Kit

i think there is a group deal for 450 ^_^ the reason why the other bulbs that u bought from the local store is whiter is because it's running a higher wattage =P and those will burn out ur harness...but the piaa doesn't ^_^ and it's hellota white...if your are looking for a bluish tint....piaa is not the way to go.
