    Nope...they must have packaged the wrong color.

    6K's are bright with a little hint of blue.

    4300K is the bright white

    3K is yellow.

    sounds like a wiring issue. maybe they are mixed up? I know when i turn on my foglights my hi-beam indicator comes on, even though my low beams are on. I have DDM 8000k hids.

    well 4300 can be pure white... except, the light color depends on the glass quality, good quality will be pure white, **** will look like a halogen

    Ok are the low beams stock looking? or are they HID yellow? Are your high beams aimed low, and look more like low beams?

    Ok so my low beams are yellow. My high beams are the 6K HID's. I'm just wondering if it's normal. I don't really care because I'm fine with just running my highs. But if I bought a set of low beam only bulbs will I be able to run my fogs when I upgrade those?

    This^

    And your foglights turn off with the high beams. I would check with the company you bought them from.
