3000k HID Fogs

**Lishap** · 02-23-2013

Okay so im stumped here. I bought a 3000k HID fog kit off ebay (i know not the best idea) but the bulbs that came with it werent as yellow as i wanted them to be so i thought no big deal ill just buy some other 3000k bulbs. Installed the new bulbs and they are green not just a hint of green but a solid green color. So did i just get jammed on 2 sets of "3000k" bulbs or is it the ebay ballasts that are causing this? and if its just the bulbs what are the best golden deep yellow bulbs to get? (preferably that accept paypal)

I have Beamers equipment; currently running 3300k bulbs. They are as yellow as can be.....

Sounds like you got bad or the wrong colour bulbs.

I have two "frontal" pics, but the bulbs weren't completely warmed up.....

alright thanks. So been reading and still haven't found a definitive answer, do the ballast actually effect the bub color? or is it just based off the bulb?

and how are the DDM 3000k fog kit. Are the bulbs that yellow? pics?

The bulb determines the colour. Using 35w vs 55w will make a difference, but that is it.

With your 3000k bulbs being green, green is way off the colour scale, so they have to boxed wrong. Or made by a colour blind bulb manufacturer. LOL

I just talked to my HID guy..... when yellow bulbs have a tinge of green, it is typically a cheap-o/crappy bulb.

**importisland13** · 02-25-2013

u have info where to buy

**Lishap** · 02-25-2013

Alright thanks Broncoboy. these things didnt have a slight tinge of green there were almost full green, so i guess i get what i paid for lol. and i got them off ebay

**Lishap** · 02-26-2013

Anyone have any recommendations of where to buy good 3000k bulbs that aren't going to break the bank?

**REDCRAPGP** · 02-26-2013

Good and cheap don't go together. Theretrofitsource.com is where I go. Yes they're not cheap but they also aren't crappy bulb. Other then that DDM or Vvme may be in your best bet.
