You are also the first person to say something regarding UV output.
UV output is often left out because people are unaware of it and its hard to pinpoint exactly how much and what amount can cause discoloration. However, you will notice that the high end manufacturers like philips for instance are sure to claim their bulbs are UV safe.

My Angel eye rings are very clear no yellow whatsoever so it begs the question if the hid bulbs did it or just the sun. My car is garage kept and fairly new.
