Green HIDs on IX?

I just picked up my IX SE today and I thought it was strange that the headlights have a green tint to them. On my 03 evo they were white with a slight blue tint to them but it is definetly a green tint on my 06. Has anyone else noticed this?

Haha, yea I have never heard of green HID lights before either thats why I was asking if anyone else had noticed this. I went to take a pic and found my batteries dead so I am charging them now. Will try to get a pic shortly.

I just thought it would be cool to have green hids cause no one else has them and to have a pic makes it that much coooler.

Ok, here are a couple pics I just took. Its kind of hard to tell from the pictures but if you look at the reflection on the wood bookcase in the one pic you can see green and in one you can kind of see a green glare in the camera. This is in my garage so it might be easier to tell if it was outside but its 2:15am so I dont feel like taking it outside.

I've heard of HID's being a little green while they're warming up. I think you just need to give them some time to warm up (and break in?)

Yo Check th batery voltage, The Amount of voltage can affect the color of you HID headlights. But i know they usualy go purple when the ballast goes. Is the car running when they are green or did you check this with the ignition on and engine off
