If I remember right, those are not real HID's, they are just color coated halogen bulbs. Compared to non color coated halogen bulbs, these should have a closer color to your original HID's.

HID FOG lights and High beams
The package reads that they are "Xenon" and "krypton" with lifetime warranties. They are have a caution on the side of the case that says not to touch the bulb because they contain gas that is under pressure.. The only thing that I am concerned with is that on my lexus I can see the bulb and it looks almost a greyish blue.. not clear like these.. I am not able to see the bulbs on my mercedes.

8500K describes the "color temperature". These bulbs are sold as "superwhite" and are probably halogens. If you can see a filament the bulbs are halogen not HID.
