Best HID bulb

I bought a pair of 8000k bulb from DDMtuning and the bulbs make some yellow color. Does it mean the bulb are defective?
i'm thinking to buy a new pair of 10,000k

Any suggestion?

Return them and get 4500k-6000k

You're not going to be able to see shit with 8000k or higher.

If they are changing color, there is something wrong. We carry them in 6000k which is a pure xenon white or 8000k which is an aqua blue. Check to see if there is a warranty on the bulb set with DDM.

Sounds like you got 3000k bulbs. DDM HID kits come with a lifetime warranty.

D1S bulbs = 1 year, chances are you will never need it
Raptor kits = Lifetime warranty and only $29.99.
