Smile head lights

Something's up. Mine look bright white with a tinge of blue. Not a hint of yellow. The clarity is great, with a sharp, slightly stepped cutoff.

Try this for all the bulbs on the car.https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/2004-mazda-rx-8-bulb-code-list-25466/

Are you sure your car has the HIDs? Mine are bright white. What package do you have?

yeah mine are super blue/purple for first 15-20 seocnds and then they go almost white. Stock hids are 4300K IIRC which are the brightest. the higher you got the more blue/purple you get but the less effective they are ( not as bright ) as headlights.

must be the film buildup in your headlights that people have been talking about?
