Would a grounding kit get rid of purple DDE rings

i have noticed wenever my car is on but the engine isnt running my rings are purple but once the engine is actually running within a few minutes they turn white again, could a grounding kit possibly fix this, ya know to give the battery a little more juice so it could juice up the angel eyes any faster? Just throwing out an idea

nismo, those DDE's have to warm up also...

EDIT: if anything they will get brighter. some people claim the headlights get brighter when you install a ground kit..

so does the HID lamps.. I think its pretty similar... since they both have ballast, it might be a starting sequence then they mellow out after..

No. A grounding kit won't do that. At least mine didn't.
