Here you can see the green from further away. Overall, when you are standing back looking at the lights they look normal, and they project white on the road. The amount of greenish color projecting out (or I guess I should say reflecting out) is minimal but present.

That's wild. I bet there's got to be some kind of coloring on the inside of the cap that's covering the bulb. There's no color to the silver reflector and I'm sure you would have noticed if your HID bulbs were colored on one side. Thanks for posting your pics also. Whose HID kit is that? It looks nice. BTW, if you ever want to know if an RX has factory HIDS during the day (without reading the D2R on the housing), you'll notice that the halogens have only a few verical ridges in the reflector, whereas the HIDs have vertical ridges the whole width of the reflector (I noticed this on the car lot when I was looking to buy an RX with HIDs).

I thought the same thing.

Exactly right, that's how I've always been able to do it. As for the kit, it is a Phillips 4300k kit.
