Fog lights turning green???

Well what I mean is my bulbs seem to be turning green. When i first got my EAGLITE 80w fog lights, they were white for about a month, and now all of the sudden both of them have a greenish tint to them.

Is this an indication that they will burn out shortly, or is this just a crappy quality bulb??? I think I'll pick up PIAA's next...forget the cheapy bulbs...

wow man!! 80W?? It has twice as less life time than 55W has!! How long do you have it?? I think the 80W should last for about 150 hours and this is why it turn from blue to green.

ya I do...but I have had these fog lights on the car less than 2 months...I'm surprised they would become green so quickly.

2 months and after how many hours I guess? I had bought the max gold bulbs and a few other types and between 2 months to 6 months the color fades a little. The yellow wasn't as bright as it was in the beginning. I didn't get those bulbs before but do they have the blue tint on them?
