From what I understand, the Lexus lights are CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lighting) and are likely to give off that blue tint, but I could be wrong. The Hoen bulbs are just filament bulbs and are tinted blue to give them a pure white look.
I prefer the pure white look, but that's me.

Gotchya. I remember someone posting a DIY on a CCFL install on e46fanatics. Looks awesome, but I'm hesitant about butchering up my trunk.

Gregs pics are great, but I was wondering if anyone had a straight-on shot of them from the back....I'm still using the ebay ones, I'm on my second set, but I did just realize that he offers a lifetime warranty so if they do go out again, I'll be taking advantage of it...

when you get these bulbs,
please post pics of them, so we can see how they look,
and please specify what BRAND, part #, model, PRICE, where you got 'em, etc.....

Got mine in the mail yesterday, but obviously don't have my car at the moment, so can't install them.
I also bought another mod that may take a while to get here.
