Angry Need Help. HID Problem!

Well I bought some HIDs and they came in today. hooked the up and they were not the 10000k blue i wanted, they said they were though. They were like a really bright stock color. You cant really screw them up. So any idea if i did maybe mess something up or what yall think?

Well usually there is some variation with color between every different brand of HID, but a 10000K setup should be pretty darn blue lookin. Sounds like maybe there was a mix up and you got the wrong set of bulbs.

My HIDs have a power to the battery and then a ground from each bulb. I have the 6000k and my dad has 5000k (same brand) and mine definitely have a blue tinge to them when both are lit up. Your 10K should be obnoxious
