Default Where did you buy the kit from? The difference can be in the bulbs. Osram D2S bulbs generally tend

to burn about 2-3 hundred degrees cooler, and thus appear more "yellow" to the Philips bulbs. This "yellow" that you see is still very white compared to conventional halogens.

Default you have to identify which bulb. popular in the market is 4000k and 6000k versions. i've seen 8000k

take note of the partnumber and consult Eric@SPP. you might have an old/weak version. does it have a cover tip? there shouldnt be
