I also had that thought -- thinking back to my science classes in high school. I learned that some laundry detergents have a little bit of blue coloring to it so that washing whites that have been soiled or yellowed will make them turn whiter.
I was thinking if you take a yellow Sharpie marker put a small dab directly on the LED than it should balance the color and make it whiter. If that doesn't work, the marker could be removed with a little rubbing alcohol.

People with very blueish LEDs please post your voltages (so go borrow a multimeter) and maybe I can figure out a DIY for this mine don't really change a lot slight hint of blue but I like it. Maybe we should just get 6000K bulbs for the HID ? LOL

Have sent a mail to inform but if it's not user error then I don't see a problem with warranty?

Ok, i went out a small trip for cigarettes and when I got back and parked my car my worst fears had come true, they actually turn pretty blue,
not as purple as the 4300K.s but blue, and I really hate blue and purple so I am afraid I have to skip these LED.s as well
Seems like Polargs are the only way to go for true white eyebrows ..

edit: I got a replacement but I have to pay for the shipping, it's not a problem for you guys. No warranty would've been outrageous. I was even embarrassed to type that he refused warranty but now all is okay. I'll PM TB5.

He's currently refusing warranty. But I'm turning up the heat. We just bought ****ing 100 pairs if he doesn't give warranty he better have a damn good reason.
