Default 05 Honda Accord HID

I recently purchased 2 new 6000k bulbs to replace my old HID bulbs. I'm not totally sure what to make of this.. one is completely white and the other is blueish... the package said they were both 6000k and they look completely exact. Is there a reason why?

Did i get 2 different bulbs? Do i have bad ballasts? Any help is greatly appreciated

Long story short, somebody goofed up and gave you two different bulbs.

The color temperature of an HID bulb is 100% determined by its mixture of metal halides inside the bulb. This fact cannot be argued, just look it up. This is why you can have 10 different HID kits, all running at 35W but all 10 can be of different color temperature.
