Thumbs up

When they first come on they will be slightly yellow. After about 30 secs they will brighten to our lovely blue.

Not sure about yellow..but they should start off nice and blue, and turn white when warmed up. I remember reading a post back in late Feb/early March about a possible recall in some of the HIDs. Also, a poor battery can affect HID performance, so I'm told.
