Sorry for the lack of update guys. 60+ hour work weeks have owned me and the heat here is no joke either. I'll get some comparison pics up when it's not so hot out and I won't be drenched in sweat from doing a simple bulb swap. But following are my personal results.
Ebay bulbs are the worst. Like tungo mentioned earlier, the xenondepot bulbs are yellow, but not vitamin b infused, glow in the dark yellow pee colored. I would rank the xenondepot and hidxtra bulbs about even in yellowness. Again, not bashing either place. Both companies seem to have great products from other reviews, and customer service is definitely top notch. I'm just looking for that deeeeeepppp yellow. Next yellowest would be my original kit I got from clifford. I hear hongkonghid sells the same kit, but am skeptical that if I buy a replacement bulb, will I be getting the same bulb as the kit? Most likely will, but I'd hate to have another set of bulbs lieing around that I am unhappy with.
On a side note, I have read about hid bulbs changing color after burning in. Maybe the bulbs will turn yellower after a few hundred hours. I don't remember if my original bulbs from clifford were less yellow at first. Don't drive the car enough to be able to find this out any time soon. Am about to just give up on hids and throw some yellow halogens in there. :P Those phillips bulbs are EXACTLY what I'm looking for. Can even deal with a little less yellow. But man, the price is kinda high. Guess you gotta pay to play.
In summary, this is what I was looking for:

This is a more accurate picture of what it looks like in person (especially the pics in the parking garage):

Here are some pictures of our 3000k HID kits. You will notice that the color really depends on the pictue. In real life I would say that the bulbs look yellow/white depending on what angle you view the light from. However, The light output on the ground is definitely YELLOW!
