Default Anyone's Xenon Depot 6000k fogs PINK???

Like the title says, has anyone had problems with Xenon Depot or any other company regarding their fogs? I know the pictures are bad (from Iphone) but you can see that my fogs are pink (in real life they are completely pink). I have 6000k D4S (lows) and 6000k (fogs) and you can see my lows are the right color (blueish) but my fogs are pink!

I think I need to talk to Xenon Depot for replacement.

That's odd.

There are special HID lights that are colored. Perhaps you got the wrong bulbs?

I confirmed before using the serial number on the bulb with Xenon Depot and they are 6000k bulbs.

But, they clearly don't look like 6000k bulbs. When I first got them, it was white with a slight pink so I thought maybe after a while it will get to it's true color. But now, it's completely pink.

If HID bulbs turn pink, they are starting to burn out. The arc/zenon gas ratio is ratio is depleting. This was prevalent on the Acura TL's first gens.
