or maybe it's my OCD again.. but does anyone have similar experience?
i have the same "issue" with my 6k lows ...looks greenish at times....might be due to the yellow fogs mixing with light blue light!

actually, after using my lows for a while.. i don't really notice the green that much anymore.. they are pretty white now
i remember on the first day of usage.. i noticed the green tint a lot~ perhaps the bulbs needed time to warm up?

but i do notice that my driver side fogs give off a very faint green tint
you can't really see it by looking at it
but if you compare the light it gives off to the passenger side you can see that it's not as white

take a look at the pic below (taken when i had a bad ballast on the passenger side, swapped it out and no issues anymore! )
the passenger side fogs give off a pure white light on the ground, whereas the fogs give off a not as white light on the ground, and this is not because of the ground because no matter where i park my car, this is the same result
i've tried switching to a new fog bulb, but still the same result
i'm thinking it's the ballast?

i got the HID kit from a local vendor in toronto
